redirect "System" font to "FixedSys" for win1/2 programs

[roytam1]

since "System" font is fixed pitch font in win1 and 2, IMO it is better to redirect "System" font to "FixedSys" for win1/2 programs.

Do you know a way to determine if a program is Win1/2?

check version in NE header

It is difficult because the System font is used when no font is specified.

can we "pre-select" FixedSys for that?

If this is possible, then this should be fixable as well:
#251

I think there is something already done like this:

and dialog templates are needed to be enlarged for getting font information in. how to do this?

It seems like the DS_FIXEDSYS flag would do it but that doesn't work so you'd have to in DIALOG_ParseTemplate16 add DS_SETFONT with result->facename = "FIXEDSYS".

[cracyc]

To change the non-dialog font since the default dc font is system, SelectFont(hdc, GetStockObject(SYSTEM_FIXED_FONT)) would have to be called for every dc at creation and use except windows with CS_OWNDC and CS_PARENTDC.

it works very well! thanks!
