The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

[fixedfonts]
FontFile,"Description","AspectRatio"
 
The [fixedfonts] section specifies the files and information needed to
install the fonts required to support a display or printer driver.
 
Parameter    Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
FontFile     Specifies the MS-DOS filename of the font file.
 
Description  Specifies an ASCII string describing the font. This parameter
             must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").
 
AspectRatio  Specifies the aspect ratio (relative dimensions) of the device
             for which the font was designed. This parameter must be
             enclosed in double quotation marks ("). This parameter can have
             the form:
 
                 AspectXY,LogPixelsX,LogPixelsY
                 CONTINUOUSSCALING
 
             The parameters AspectXY, LogPixelsX, and LogPixelsY are decimal
             values that match the values of the dpAspectXY, dpLogPixelsX,
             and dpLogPixelsY members in the GDIINFO structure for the
             corresponding device driver.
 
             The CONTINUOUSSCALING keyword is used for vector fonts.
 
Example
 
This example shows the font sections that support a display driver:
 
[fixedfonts]
1:egafix.fon,"ZGA (640x350) resolution Fixed System Font","133,96,72"
