I am a long-time CA user and have really grown to love it lately for a variety of reasons. I found out just how much I really liked it this past week when I started in a shop that uses Rumba. Here's what I'm missing in Rumba that I really liked in CA: (First some background on the workstation: It's a WinNT 4.0 with a 15" monitor running in, I believe, 800x600 mode. According to the Rumba Help About, we are using Rumba Office 2000, Version 6.0 U00, Build 1502.0.0; the PTF tab indicates that there are no PTFs applied.) 1) By far, Rumba's screen font for 27x132 is barely readable. I have fumbled around a bit with the display fonts but am using the default Term400. The MS Sans Serif font was close, but the characters were too squeezed together. The Lucida Console font was another close one. CA's 27x132 was crisp and clear after a certain service pack was applied. Can anyone recommend a good font for this? I've tried all the ones that were installed on this system. (Also, I do not want to have to scroll horizontally to see the full display.) 2) I loved being able to use the cursor moving function Ctrl-Right Arrow or Ctrl-Left Arrow. These were the ones that moved the cursor to the first non-blank character next or previous to the position that the cursor is currently located. It functions exactly like in any normal Windows text window, i.e., notepad, wordpad, MS Word. I was able to map the keyboard End key so that it behaves like it should, i.e., positions the cursor to the end of the text on the current line instead of Rumba's default erase from current position to the end of the line. I am close to asking whether I can get CA installed on this box; I believe they have a few available licenses. But I'd rather not bother them with this if I can get these two things resolved.
