Ok, here is the scenario, we are using a really old software in our environment. It is a terminal type program that is 16-bit. You can only change the FONT sizes to FONTs that are pre-loaded into a RESFONTS.DEF file. The file contents look like this:
9 "Ver=3.1"
1
13
9 "WspanTE" 4 " 9" 12 0 0 0
10 "Terminal" 4 " 6" 8 6 0 0
10 "Terminal" 4 " 8" 8 8 0 0
9 "WspanTE" 4 " 9" 12 0 0 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "10" 10 0 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "11" 11 0 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "12" 12 0 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "13" 13 12 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "14" 14 0 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "15" 15 12 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "16" 16 0 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "17" 17 12 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "18" 18 0 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "19" 19 0 1 2
Take the last line and the second to last line:
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "18" 18 0 1 0
15 "Lucida ConAlt" 4 "19" 19 0 1 2
In the software I would choose "19" for instance and I would get Lucida ConAlt as a font as defined in this file. What I am trying to do is change the FONT that it is using because they are not displaying properly in Windows XP. I need to know what the last 4 numbers mean, because if I change the FONT, those numbers make the font display funny.
I know that the programmers may have never seen this layout, but what I would really like to know is what they could represent. HEIGHT, WIDTH, BOLD, etc. What properties for a font can be set, or is there no way of knowing without talking to a developer of the application?
The application is WorldSpan RES v4.2.
