system fonts

[wheelie]

Hi,

Im trying to follow along with charles Petzfold programming windows book, and he says that these fonts are not freely viewable under the

windows/fonts

directory, and to use *.FON, but when i do this, i only get

Courier 10,12 etc.FON
Modern.FON
MS Sans Serif 8, 10 etc.FON
MS Serif 8,10 etc.FON
Roman.FON
Script.FON
small fonts.FON

not the

VGASYS.FON
VGAFIX.FON
ANSI FIXED FONT.FON
ANSI VAR FONT.FON
DEVICE DEFAULT.FON
DEFAULT GUI.FON

that he describes

im using vista 64,

and another question, when he talks about windows NT, is he referring to windows 2000?

also, is there a way to view .fon files as they are in a table or somthing, rather than the "fox jumps over the" way.

also when he talks about installing russian windows or etc, to view their system fonts, are these the same fonts in the character map tool, under windows:cyrillic?

also, am i right in thinking that theres a russian/greek etc etc versions of all of the below

VGASYS.FON
VGAFIX.FON
ANSI FIXED FONT.FON
ANSI VAR FONT.FON
DEVICE DEFAULT.FON
DEFAULT GUI.FON

also, how do you sharpen lawn mower blades?


thanks

Im trying to follow along with charles Petzfold programming windows book...What edition / year?
and another question, when he talks about windows NT, is he referring to windows 2000?Don't think so. Windows 2000 is usually called by its name, Win2K. He was likely referring to NT 3.51 or NT 4. Check out this link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_nt#Releases) for more info on Windows versions.
