You cannot put "ruler" and "ruler_color" on the same line, it thinks
it's one long keyword called "ruler ruler_color."

Try removing the + symbol.  it should be:

+ruler
ruler_color=#FFFFFF

The plus at the start is for boolean (on/off) values only

The font is too large to fit all of the data on the screen.  You should
not use +resize_fonts, it's an experimental feature that does not work as
well as I'd like it to.

I've been intending to complete re-write font support for the next version
of TN5250.  I've experimented with a few different methods of doing font
resizing, but I haven't come up with one that I particularly like.
However, this is the main thing that's holding up the release of 0.16.6 is
that I really wanted to re-do the font support before the release.

Your best bet is to try a different font, or set the size manually...
