Summary:

QuickC versions 2.5 and 2.51 and C version 6.0 use identical font libraries. However, the “Microsoft QuickC: C for Yourself” manual (page 299) gives incorrect sizes for the Courier and Helvetica fonts, and incorrect spacings for the Helvetica and Times Roman fonts.

More Information:

The following table taken from the “Microsoft C Advanced Programming Techniques” manual for C version 6.0 (page 238) displays the correct font information.
