  • Subject: changing xterm font for 132 column mode

tn5250 resizes the terminal window, when running in xterm. It would be
nice, to additionally change the font, so that 80x25 and 132x27 modes
fit well into available screen space.

In order to achieve this, one would change cursesterm.c:

--- cursesterm-original.c       Tue Jan  2 12:44:08 2001
+++ cursesterm.c        Tue Jan  2 12:24:00 2001

       if(This->data->is_xterm) {
         printf ("\x1b[8;%d;%dt", tn5250_display_height (display)+1,
               tn5250_display_width (display));
+        if(tn5250_display_width (display)>100) {
+           printf("\x1b]50;fixed\x07");
+        } else {
+           printf("\x1b]50;9x15\x07");
         }
         fflush (stdout);
 #ifdef HAVE_RESIZETERM

Of course, it would be much nicer to have configuration options for the
fonts, but I've no time to implement this yet.
