Font issues are important and the main issue is that none of the resident
Windows fonts have all of the AS400 displayable character set (ie:  dup
key, etc.).  Another issue is readability.  Just try doing 27x132 in
640x480 mode.  Most emulators will not even display characters at all.  I
ran into this recently at a company that had lots of out of date PC's and
monitors.  This detail is addressed in the Synapse NetWolf product that I
recommend and sell.  It has its own AS400 font set at every resolution with
all of the AS400 characters.
