Thanks.  I did 'man tn5250' and never saw anything fontwise.  It would
be handy if the 'see also' section of 'man tn5250' contained a reference
to 'man tn5250rc'.  Perhaps newer versions already do.

I see that the font_80 and font_132 variables only affect the 'default'
setting  (on the control right-click menu).  How about the 'unreadable'
through 'large' settings?

I've got my workstation set up to where I'm slightly more than arms
length from the screen.  As the eyes get a bit older, I find it easier
to read a larger font.  My plan is to simply have more than one screen
(at some point).

Unfortunately, a number of the fixed fonts have only one valid point
size, which is 12.

I'm currently testing lucidatypewriter 24 on a 1280 x 1024 resolution
with a 19" monitor.  Seems ok so far.  

font_80=-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Thanks.
