Re: subject: ACS HOD font change

There's a trick with either Windows 10 or ACS that allows you to see the
fonts in your \Windows\Fonts directory...unfortunately, I can't remember
how I did it. My desktop with v1.1.184 of ACS--coincidentally, with the
old iAccess for Windows as well--shows dozens of monospaced fonts; this
suggests there's something in the ACS configuration that makes this go.

I like Andale Mono, Noto Mono, and Menlo. They scale down very nicely on
RDi, where I can easily view 70 lines of code on a vertically-oriented
monitor, and they're extremely readable on a 5250 session of just about
every size.

Lucida Console. This was suggested to me by someone with poor eyesight, and
sure enough, it blows up the font pretty decently.

Other options, which I don't believe I have changed, under the Font section
of ACS:
Fixed Font: No
Font Scaling: Yes
Antialiasing: No
Font Name: Lucida Console
Font Style: Plain

subject: ACS HOD font change

We had a user complaining about the large 6-inch black left and right
borders on an HOD session, and the font size.
I didn't think this was fixable, opened a ticket with IBM ACS support.

The default IBM3270 font doesn't scale past about 1020x768 resolution.
Have them change the font to either pcomm session font or mono spaced font.
Edit-preferences- appearance-font-font name.

For those in the group using ACS, what font are most of you using?
Any pro/cons.

Thank You
