F
onts are managed by the operating
system as well. The bare system in-
cludes six standard fonts. But there
are thousands that can all be installed.
They can all be scaled smoothly from
two-point size to whatever size fits onto
your paper. There is no distinction
between screen fonts and printerfonts.
Windows and tricks
O
ne handy trick to know is that the
buttons for scrolling up and down
have a reverse effect if they are
clicked on with the
right-hand mouse
button. The same
effect applies to
the left-right but-
tons. Moreover,
both vertical and
horizontal scroll-
bars can be moved
simultaneously by
dragging either of
them with the right-
hand mouse but-
ton. If you have a
window lying
‘behind’ another
window, you can
move it around by
‘grabbing’ it by its
title bar with the
right-hand mouse
button without it
popping to the
front.
