These fonts each contain all 256 IBM PC characters, and can be substituted  
for the default pc8x16 and pc8x14 fonts supplied with DESQview/X.

In the file \dvx\server\fonts\misc\fonts.dir, you will find the
entry for the three PC fonts supplied with DVX:

pc8x14.snf       pc8x14
pc8x16.snf       pc8x16
pc8x8.snf        pc8x8

You can copy any of these *.snf fonts to this directory, and edit
fonts.dir to reflect the filenames of the replacement fonts:

pc8x14b.snf      pc8x14
pc8x16b.snf      pc8x16
pc8x8.snf        pc8x8


This will replace the 14- and 16-point fonts with their BOLD
counterparts.  Your fixed-font DOS Windows and DOS programs will now
use the new 14- and 16-point fonts instead of the default fonts of
that size.

You can also install the fonts using their real names:

script14.snf     script14
script16.snf     script16
pc8x14b.snf      pc8x14b
pc8x16b.snf      pc8x16b

X11 programs other than DOS Programs can refer to these fonts, and
use them (e.g. 'xterm -fn script14') when displaying to DVX.

BDF fonts are included, so you can port them to non-DVX systems
as well, for use with remote DOS programs.

I am looking into ways to get some larger 10x20 and 10x24 fonts
that contain all 256 IBM PC characters.

I do not have any alternate 8x8 PC character fonts at this time.
If DVX is sending you 8x8 fonts in your remote DOS programs, then
simply alias pc8x8 to 14- or 16-point fonts.

Here are the fonts included:

pc8x16b
pc8x14b BOLD fonts (nice fat letters)
pc8x16i
pc8x14i ITALIC fonts (a little skinny, perhaps BOLD ITALIC is needed)
pc8x16s
pc8x14s SANS SERIF fonts (looks like ATI Wonder hardware fonts)
script14
script16 Germanic/English script font
