3.00 MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Many of the dialog boxes in Windows version 3.0 display text in a font that looks like a smaller version of the system font. This font is actually 8-point Helv bold. This point size can be specified through the use of a FONT statement in the application’s resource file. Windows 3.0 always uses the bold version of any font specified in the resource file FONT statement. For more information on resource files, see Chapter 8 in the “Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 2” version 3.0.
