I don't know about you but I don't think a Fidonet message should be telling
my message reader how to behave when it comes to my display. Like you, I have
a wide display (I'm logged into a regular console window). I prefer having a
smaller font to fit more on the screen...well, as long as I have my reading
glasses on. :)
Methinks people are overcomplicating things.
Later,
Sean
