 For a moment there I thought you were saying that
 you could have enlarged video fonts (like True-Type)
 under DOS.
 
 That would be =real= handy for my low-vision
 group, and would allow them to read ebooks (like
 those available via Gutenberg) on something as
 lowly as a 386 -- the only equipment we have
 plenty of.
 
 I thought there was a text editor or word processor
 from the DOS era that did have large fonts, but
 everyone tells me this is not possible, and I have
 not been able to track it or anything like it down.
 (If anyone does know of such a beast, please let me
 know.)
 
 Did however recently discover the following on your
 website.
 
 ------------------------------------------------
 === [71]-DOS Font (2.5k archive) - Replaces the
 standard font of the DOS text display (AT class
 machines only). Not earth-shattering but this
 font is much easier to read for programming etc.
 where typos can kill your code.
