Yes but those are not really resolutions are they?... I thought they
were actual font size changes.
5 is closest but any of the smaller ones look too silly and
unreadable. Whereas a hefty resolution like 1200 over 1024 looks
nice, just smaller.
I moved away, yrs ago from using vga=ask because it really does not
have a satisfactory view setting. 5 is best, but also seem a bit
large, the next one looks too crowded and ugly.
