> The only environment that came close to having decent typography (apart from Windows and OS/2) was DesqviewX but I don't know if I knew anyone who ran it.
DV/X included Adobe Type Manager as standard. ATM was initially a optional extra, and although very common on Classic MacOS it was rarely seen on Windows 3.x.
Quarterdeck was proud of it because DOS windows under DV/X could be resized to smaller than the original console size -- this is in the era of 72dpi monitors, remember, when 640x480 was a common resolution -- but remain readable.
