As Dave Jones is running Ubuntu it is likely packaged like Debian. If it
is - check that you installed the package xfonts-x3270-misc. On Debian
package x3270 only recommends it. But if you don't install it your
screens are hard to read.

I find that I regularly have to roll-in the X3270 fonts and then
re-run 'mkfontdir' in that directory. It may be that the RPM or other
packaging does this for me (if and when I get X3270 as a distro
formalized package). But the manual thing works (when I choose to
separate X3270 from the op sys).
The difference is striking.
X3270 without its "real 3270 look-alike" fonts ... well ... it sucks.
From the tone of your note, Dave, I think you do NOT have the true X3270 fonts.
You may have loaded them, but they're not in the "fontdir" file.
Try running 'mkfontdir'.

Hi, gang.
I've recently switched the o/s on my IBM Thinkpad from Windows XP to
Linux (Ubuntu 8.10)....I just got tired of dealing with all of the
problems Windows creates. I'm using X3270 as my 3270 emulator, and I'd
like to know what other folks are using for the fixed width fonts....I'm
not all that happy with the default set of 3270 fonts X3270 comes with.
What are some good replacements?
Thanks and have a good weekend.
