"Graphic Environment Manager / GEM" was a GUI developed by Digital Research Inc. Similar programs, such as Apple's Lisa/Macintosh interface and Microsoft Windows, were all 'inspired' by the groundbreaking work at Xerox PARC Labs in the 1970s. Used primarily with CP/M operating systems as well as a series of Atari ST computers, later versions also ran on top of MS-DOS. This font is from GEM version 3.13 (April 14, 1989) for MS-DOS, and includes lots of DOS and Windows characters...

@winty5: This was the system in use when I first started playing around with PCs back in the 80s. It seemed pretty good ... and then Windows came along and a whole new world opened up.

@winty5 - @p2pnut is correct; programs like this were very helpful in providing graphical "shortcuts" is the days of DOS! :^)
