Subject: [IBM-MAIN] AW: And the survey says...

[External Email: Use caution with links and attachments]


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....



Bye,
Michael

Font?!  Emulators usually let you select among a variety of fonts.  (I always 
use Consolas these days, because it's fixed-spacing ~and~ slashes the zeroes.)  
Does Vista offer something unique?

I've worked with PCOM, RUMBA, Nexus and Vista tn3270.... 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)....
