Vista comes with it's own font (of course you can use another font).... I can't tell you why (I can't argue that), but I tried several fonts and nothing felt right....
Sometimes font A feels right for purpose XYZ but feels wrong for another purpose... i. e. I would never use the Vista tn3270 font with my Eclipse or Notepad++ .... But with 3270 if feels.... well.... "just right"... As said.. I can't argue that....

And I felt in love with Vista tn3270.. Why?! You might roll your eyes, but it's the font. The first time I've installed Vista tn3270 I looked at it and no other 3270 Emulator I've used so far provided a such great looking and great readable font. I loved it so much - I've "extracted" the font and use it also with my SPF/SE editor.... Still love it since over 10 years (I guess).... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
