   [VOICENWS] SW: WarpSans extended sizes v   
   22 Feb 13 17:28:34   
   
   Feb 2013 21:19:38 -0500   
   ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++    
      
   From: alexDESPAM@DESPAMaltsan.org   
      
   WarpSans (Extended Sizes) is an unofficial extension to the "WarpSans" OS/2   
   bitmap font which adds a number of larger sizes.     
      
       
      
   Installing this file, WARPSANS.FON, will add 10- and 11-pt sizes of both   
   WarpSans and WarpSans Bold to an OS/2 or eCS system. (11-pt is only available   
   under 120dpi resolutions, normally 1024x768 and up.)     
      
       
      
   These larger sizes are useful when using very high-resolution screens   
   (especially on some notebook computers) where 9-pt WarpSans font may be too   
   small for comfortable reading.     
      
       
      
   To take full advantage of the larger WarpSans sizes, you can set your desktop   
   scheme to use "10.WarpSans" or "11.WarpSans" for icon text, menu text, and   
   window text. As a bonus, doing this seems to activate an interesting   
   undocumented WPS feature: when the window text is set to 10 point, all of the   
   standard WPS properties notebooks will automatically change to 10 point   
   WarpSans as well! (This does not, however, apply to the new pages inserted by   
   XWorkplace and/or various other WPS extensions.)     
      
       
      
   Available at:     
      
   http://www.altsan.org/creative/fonts/#warpsans   
      
   or on Hobbes.     
      
       
      
   Note: This is not related to my Workplace Sans font. WarpSans is a bitmap   
   (screen) font, and is not enabled for use with applications like Mozilla which   
   use FreeType for font support.
