I have a question. I just bought my Procomm Plus for Windows 2.0. I like it
very much cause it's pretty and all that stuff. I have only one complaint.
The damn Fonts are too small and shabby. If I try to make the fonts bigger,
it still looks like dodo.

Does anyone have any suggestion. If not, I'll just go back using my qmodem for
dos. At least I can see the damn words!

I don't have pc 2.0, but in 1.x you would click on the system settings icon
and then the emulation button (ie: VT220). From there, you could change
the font settings. This modifies only the one emulation mode. If you use
other terminal types you will need to change those as well.

Hope this helps.

The font handling in ProWin 2.0 is broken. Hopefully this will be fixed
(along with the other problems) in the upcoming maintenance release.

Rowney,
Since you have changed the size, you know how to access font manager of
Procomm Plus for Windows. Increasing the size is not always the solution,
unless you are of an age where your vision is failing and you need larger
type. Try a different font type that might be clearer and crisper, like
Centurian, Palamino, Palermo, etc. Experiment. I use centurian and it
read well and looks good.
