10/11 pt monospaced fonts for System 6

[egrath]

Hi,

does anyone know if there exists a decent 10 or 11 pt monospaced font for use with System 6? The only fonts that I can find (and already have) are Monaco, Hell's Programmer and Courier, but they are just available in 9 and 12 pt.

As I'm doing some recreational programming on my Plus and my eyes are not getting better, 9 pt is too small and 12 pt is too big. So i would highly appreciate a 10 or 11 pt font.

Anyone aware of one?

With kind regards,
Egon

Might be able to get that by installing the TrueType INIT and some TrueType monospaced fonts...

Scaled fonts can be a little sluggish on the older machines. That’s part of why fixed-size fonts stuck around as long as they did. I vaguely recall there was at least one (shareware?) utility back in the day that would generate a fixed-size strike based on a scalable font. Made things a lot more performant.

This tool sounds interesting. I'll take a look into it if I can find it and give it a try!
Thanks!
