Hi,

We have a mailing list set up for questions of this nature.   You can sign
up for the list at:
http://www.midrange.com/linux5250.shtml

This allows other people using tn5250 to learn from your questions and
their respective answers, and also allows the other developers to give
their input, instead of just me :)

tn5250 does not use fonts directly, but rather sends escape sequences to
your xterm in order to do font switching.    Therefore, which fonts work
and which don't work depends on your xterm.

Please check the documentation for the version of xterm that comes with
your system.   On my system (FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE running XFree86 3.3.6)
I've been able to use any of the fonts that I've tried so far.   I can
get a list of these fonts by typing "xlsfonts" at the shell prompt.

I'll send a copy of this message to the mailing list, and maybe others
will have additional input!

Thanks!
