Typefaces and fonts introduced in 1985

Fixedsys is a family of raster monospaced fonts. The name means fixed system, because its glyphs are monospaced, or fixed-width (although bolded characters are wider than non-bolded, unlike fully monospaced fonts such as Courier). It is the oldest font in Microsoft Windows, and was the system font in Windows 1.0 and 2.0, where it was simply named System. For Windows 3.x, the system font was changed to a proportional sans-serif font named System, but Fixedsys remained the default font in Notepad.
