Ewwwwww. That dates back to the crappy default IBM font cooked into the BIOS for CGA monitors (typically at FFA6E in memory... *scary* I still remember that). I used to rip out that crappy font and put my own in, and recook my video boards' EPROMs with my new fonts, just so I'd never ever *ever* *EVER* have to see that ugly disgusting font even when the machine's first booting up. Yecch. <shudder> That being said, it's probably listed as something with "system" in the font name. I imagine you're not using a normal peecee, else that should be listed as one of the options for monospaced fonts. Sparc box? Anyhoo, it's listed as "fixedsys" here, 'though that might vary. A bunch of other people posted their favorite monospaced fonts a while ago, and some were really crisp and easy-to-look-at. I'd seriously suggest one of those over fixedsys. I go blind trying to figure out '0' from '8', etc., when I gotta work in a fake-DOS window and that's all it has available.
