What are fonts? I have only one font. The system font programmed into
the BIOS of my computer. Why don't you write a new bios that can handle
true type fonts? Or better still, stroked fonts. And what the hell is
Ariel? You use soap powder on your monitor? Maybe you also need a drain

Rewrite my BIOS and I'll do it.

I've got a 5 foot by 3.5 foot wall mounted active plasma display split
into 17 virtual screens all the same size (80x24) and all in the same
font.
