[TC 11.50b4] Need option to get old fonts fot ANSI, ASCII

This isn't entirely correct - when you set Terminal manually for ASCII/DOS, you can't set the right size, only very small (9) or too large (14)

Correct, setting it to 12 is also too large.

but then use this in the Help:

OldDefaultFonts=0
0: Use scalable default fonts (e.g. Consolas for ANSI and ASCII and Verdana for Variable) when available
1: Use old non-scalable bitmap fonts (SYSTEM_FIXED_FONT, OEM_FIXED_FONT and SYSTEM_FONT)

I don't know where OEM_FIXED_FONT actually gets its font from

It looks like it gets it from cga80woa.fon - see: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/cga80woa_fon.png

or from one of these depending on locale:
cga80850.fon
cga80852.fon
cga80857.fon
cga80866.fon
cga80869.fon

As a sidenote, do you know which font is used for the title bar of Lister?

No, that's determined by the current Windows theme.

This font isn't offered in the font choose dialog, any idea on how to set this font?

I see, so the font choose dialog is too dumb to present all the available font sizes when choosing "Terminal" manually.

Confirmed added to Help in TC 11.50b6:

OldDefaultFonts=0
0: Use scalable default fonts (e.g. Consolas for ANSI and ASCII and Verdana for Variable) when available
1: Use old non-scalable bitmap fonts (SYSTEM_FIXED_FONT etc.)
