Hi Beat

Ahh. I see what you mean; the 24x80 font is used to determine the maximum 
width. 

font_80 = 9x15 ==> 27x113 :(
font_80 = 8x13 ==> 27x128  so close - where can I find a 7.75x13 font ;-) 
font_80 = 7x13 ==> 27x132  which is the medium font for xterm anyway.

Digging about in cursesterm.c I found (I think) the code you were 
speaking of and swapped it about. If I've used diff correctly (not used 
it before) this is what I did.

mrowe@jamaro:~$ diff tn5250/src/cursesterm.c.old tn5250/src/cursesterm.c
578,579d577
<        printf ("\x1b[8;%d;%dt", tn5250_display_height (display)+1,
<              tn5250_display_width (display));
585c583,585
<          }

As I don't know any C, I have no idea if it's a *Bad Thing*, but it 
works. I can now use font_80 = 9x15 and font_132 = 7x13 and get the full 
27x132 display :-)

Thanks for your help.
