Installing APL+DOS Fonts on Win7, Vista, etc.
Don Wiss
Get PLJTools.zip at: http://home.comcast.net/~paul.l.jackson/APL/
Get DOSAPP.FON out of it
Rename DOSAPP.FON to DOSAPL.FON
Copy to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts folder
In C:\Windows\SYSTEM.INI change "woafont=dosapp.fon" to "woafont=dosapl.fon"
Reboot
In the DOS box properties (right click on Title bar) choose 8x14 or 8x16 to get an APL font.

Some mods I did to DOSAPP.FON to provide APL fonts in higher screen
resolutions.

Hi Paul,
You know I had downloaded yours sometime in the past. Yes, your fonts are
better. Since I didn't remove the first ones I now have both. Except in
Windows 7 there is no install for fonts. When you copy a font file to that
folder it installs automatically.
Thanks, Don <www.donwiss.com> (e-mail link at home page bottom).

Hi Paul,
I've switched over to my new Win7-64 machine. No DOS applications run!
Instead one must install DOSBox and inside that box you then mount a folder
as the C: drive (or whatever drives you need). For fonts it uses the old
aplfont.com with no problem.
