The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

MS-DOS-based applications running in a window from Microsoft Windows version 3.1 do not support third-party font files (.CPI) used in supporting code pages. It is possible that these font files will be available when the MS-DOS-based application is run in a full screen.

MORE INFORMATION

Font file is a parameter used to add additional font information to a device's code page. For example:

   MODE CON CP PREP=((437) APL.CPI)

This adds additional support for APL.CPI fonts to the display (con), which is set to code page 437 for the United States.

It is the third-party company's responsibility to design and implement its font-file code page sets into Windows by supplying, installing, and supporting additional font files in Windows.
