I use mod 3 by default these days. (Certain CMS apps have an affinity for 80 cols and others (I won't mention) fail outright on anything but 80 cols.) I have also used a mod 4 on my 1024x768 VNC desktop. (My primary desktop.) Model 4 takes up almost 90% of the vertical real estate and maybe 65% of the horizontal. These all use the default 14 point font, but ... I am confident that it is in fact the X3270 14 point font. (Proper "fonts.dir" file there.) If X3270 cannot find its own fonts, it defaults to "fixed".
