Description: Those fonts are slightly wider than the VGA-ROM included ones,
and without serifs, hence easier to read. This is particularly true
when screen sizes bigger than 25x80 are used (try to use 60x132 with
a standard font, and then with READABLE.F08 - you'll *note* the
difference).
Legal Stuff: The designer includes the following disclaimer, which I happily
quote: "Since this is PD, there is no a warranty of any kind and I
take no responsibility for the damage that these files may do to
your computer/peripherals (although I'm 99.9999999999% sure that
there can't possibly be any damage)."
