There it is. God, that splash screen is a Time, isn't it?
if you ask it to help you create a table, one of the suggested databases is one to track your film, you know for photographers? like what date you had that roll developed...

for some reason Fox Pro comes with Imagedit, a pixel image editor that can edit BMP, CUR, and ICO.

The FoxPro logo is definitely Arial, but it's tweaked a little bolder than Arial Heavy, and the kerning has been manually tweaked, it looks like.
Microsoft liked to do this around 1995. They'd design something with their standard fonts, but then have some graphical designers tweak how it looked. Like the "It's now safe to shutdown your computer" screen: they tweaked several letters in that.

I overlaid some Ariel on it and tried to match it. Aside from the boldness issue, you can see the kerning is different on "Fo" and they redrew the V

this is a little annoying if you're invested in mimicing Microsoft typography from 1995.
That may seem an obscure thing to be concerned with but it seems to come up for me all the time.

Rimborsi per cosa!?! La #Russia è lì (e ha vinto la guerra da quasi 4 anni) per liberarli dal nazismo. Quanta irriconoscenza 😥.

È arrivato il bastimento di caffè! 🖤
Non ricordo più chi aveva consigliato questa torrefazione qui sul Mastodon, leggendo qualche commento mi ero salvata questo progetto perché mi sembrava super interessante, e ora finalmente abbiamo fatto il primo ordine!
Qualcuno lo regaliamo eh... Non tutti però 😄
