iseries access fonts
George Applegate
v5r3. On one pc that came from v5r2 I have a different font selection
than I do from a newly installed v5r3. I have gone into v5r3 install
and made sure all fonts s/b installed. Where are the fonts stored
that iseries access uses? They are relatively limited in number.
Also, I am trying to find a good font to display 27x132 screens. Any
suggestions? Most of them aren't very readable.
What about iseries access for web? Does that have the same fonts?
Does that work for emulation? I'm not too familiar with that product.
Is it easy to use? What would be the pluses over iseries access? I
am wondering where/how to get a wider selection of fonts to choose
from than the full (limited) set in client access. Seems to me way
back when it was an xw1 product there were several more font choices??
I am wondering where they are stored in iseries access directory,
because I do have a few more on the one pc than others, and I'd at
least like to move those few extra to other pc's to offer a choice.
I can't understand why they don't somehow allow you to use the entire
windoze font set for iseries access. I also don't know why they
change from version to version (having less in v5r3 than from a
migrated version. In fact, I installed two new v5r3's, and included
all fonts, and still have different font sets to choose from.
Fixed fonts seem deplorable - you have to select a zillion rows to get
133+ columns. I would like 27 rows by 133 columns and a font that
displays LEGIBLY. I can understand getting rid of dumb tubes, but
it'd be nice if we could have a wider font selection...

I agree about the fixed fonts thing, but this is a *mainframe*, and we
have limitations, the one you have is 'getting' the proper display
font. Though on the other side of mainframe, the good side, is that we
can process millions, and millions of records very fast, and rarely
have to reboot....
So, that said.
