Great! Were you building from source?  Because I forgot to update the
binary on my web site, so you're still doing the old version.   Could
I ask you to grab the new one and try again? :)

That should be "+resize_fonts".   Please download the new copy and try
again.   Keep in mind that not all fonts display at all sizes.

Column seperators aren't a "character" as such, they're just lines drawn
between the characters, when the AS/400 tells it it wants column
seperators -- which is why we couldn't do them in the curses version, it
has no facility for drawing on the screen.

I could add an option that converts column seperators to underlines.  That
would make it display the same as the curses version.   Would that help?

If not, how would you like them to appear?  Let me know, and I'll see
what I can do...
