Hi Paul,

The 5250 protocol does not have the ability to specify display fonts.
However, most of the handheld scanners have a setting that lets you change
the font size -- at the expense of the number of characters that can fit
on the screen at once.

Remember, 5250 is 1970's technology!

> For that matter, is it even possible in DDS?

Only for print files.  And even then, the printer must support IPDS/AFPDS
or host print transform.

If you replaced 5250 emulation with software of your own design, then you
might have a chance, depending on the capabilities of the Intermec
terminal itself...
