Is there any way to make the text in "character map" in WIn98SElarger
I'm tiered of squinting while trying to remember the code for
something like the +/- character. Is there any way to increase the font size used in Character Map to make it easier to read? I can change the font with the GUI, but not the size. Yes, I know about clicking on a character and moving with the arrow keys, but I'd like to be able to scan the whole thing quickly without squinting. My eyes just aren't as good as they were when the win98 computer was brand new. |

Would changing the size of ALL the fonts, icons, etc. be what you want? -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Info, Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The "real world" of Law, Justice, and Government ___--- |

You can use a Character Map replacement.
In Win98, I tried these two: Characteristica: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/w...t/mgchrm30.zip Extended Character Map: ftp://ftp.externet.hu/pub/mirror/sac/utiltext/ecm.zip The latter doesn't seem to be available at that site, so you may have to search a bit. That is the only one I have installed now and it allows a change of the font size used for display. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.com/index.htm On Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:26:21 -0700 (PDT), in microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion, SlickRCBD wrote: I'm tiered of squinting while trying to remember the code for something like the +/- character.

Thanks, this works well enough. I probably should have asked for
something like this a while ago, but I was spending too much time in de main Egyptian river. I should probably schedule an eye exam to see if I need bifocals as I'm supposed to be slightly near-sighted, not far-sighted. Either that, or two pairs of glasses since I rarely wear my glasses except when driving at night.
