Did you perform a XHOST FP REHASH command after you installed the fonts? Mark Jacobs

All to no avail - x3270 still does not pick them up. oh well. it turns out that just changing the screen resolution and picking model 3 actually gives us a workable console. note: debian does have a separate package for the x3270 fonts, but it is just the same fonts that are in the main package in a smaller package so they can be installed on a font server. i installed them, but it didn't get me the rest of the fonts. prg Phillip Gramly Systems Programmer Communications Data Group Champaign, IL The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> wrote on 04/30/2008 04:40:32 AM: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > anyone using linux + x3270 for OSA ICC consoles? > > > > the latest xfonts-3270-misc does not include two of the larger fonts: > > 3270gt24 & 3270gt32 > > any suggestions on other fonts to use on X > > or how to get these larger fonts? > > What Linux distribution are you using?
