[Dx4win] Consolas font - an experiment

[Erkki Heikkinen]

Jim,

Did exactly what you said. Was not able to install the font before I
downloaded/installed Visual Basic Express (I have Microsoft.net
Framework but that was not enough).

Finally uninstalled the Visual Basic. Consolas fonts are still available
for DX4Win.

Thanks for the hint, Consolas is easier to read on laptop screen than
the default font was and I no more mix U and V :-) I'm using 11p bold
with my poor sight...

They are free (limited) versions of Microsoft Visual Studio.

After installation, see if the Consolas font is available to DX4WIN.  If
not, try downloading and installing it from here:

If it won't let you install the Consolas font package, you're done.

If you were allowed to install it, check again to see if the font is
available to DX4WIN.

Finally, uninstall the MS Visual Studio package you installed.  See if
the Consolas font is still available (and functioning).

Please report your results to the reflector.

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
