Contained in this archive are two GDOS fonts, ANSI_6X7.FNT and              
ANSI_8X7.FNT.  They are intended for use as terminal fonts in STalker, from 
Gribnif Software, but naturally you can use them for anything you want      
(though they aren't of much use for anything else).  Add them to the list   
of screen fonts in your ASSIGN.SYS file (after any line that says           

0xp SCREEN.SYS                                                              

where 'x' is any number).  Copy the font files themselves to your GDOS      
fonts/devices folder (this folder is listed in the first line of the        
ASSIGN.SYS file, if you don't know where it is).  Reboot and run STalker    
(or select it from the menu if you are running it as an accessory).  Select 
STalker's "Settings" menu, and select "Terminal Settings" from it.  In the  
dialog box that appears you can select which font to use for text display.  
Select either one of the ANSI_6X7 or 8X7 fonts, and then click the button   
labeled "Change All" (this sets all autodialer entries to use the font      
you've just selected).  Be careful with "Change All" - if you use different 
terminal emulations with different on-line services, be aware that the      
emulation shown in the "Terminal Settings" dialog will also be applied to   
all autodialer entries.  You may need to change the font of each autodialer 
entry manually to avoid this problem.                                       

ANSI_6X7.FNT and ANSI_8X7.FNT are both good for mainly one thing: getting   
an 80x25 display out of STalker as an accessory or program in ST Medium     
resolution.  You will probably need to tweak the window a bit to get the    
full display - for instance, with the 8x7 version of this font and STalker  
as an accessory, you will need to size the window to the fullest extent it  
can go, and then turn off the title bar, vertical scroll bar, and           
horizontal scroll bar, in order to get an 80x25 display.  With the 6x7      
font, you can leave the vertical scroll bar in place if you like.           

Another good use of these fonts is to get a 80x50 display from STalker in   
ST High resolution.  I recommend the 6x7 font for that purpose, as the 8x7  
looks funny in ST High.                                                     

These fonts are freeware.  Copy, distribute, modify, etc. freely.
