Re: Favorite ACS 5250 font?

[x y <xy6581@xxxxxxxxx>]

You had to get me going on this...to name a few besides the usual Consolas
and :

Andale Mono
Monspaced
Noto Mono
Cousine
IBM Plex Mono
Input Mono
Jetbrains Mono
Menlo
Victor Mono (in RDI too)

YMMV as a function of your display's resolution and the size of your 5250
windows.  In my 30" display, I snap-fit four windows with good 132-column
resolution using Noto Mono.  I change fonts like Elizabeth Taylor changes
last names (Al Barsa stole that from me); it's a sickness.

I don't spend much time in the 80-column world; only IBM makes me go there
<sigh>.  The fonts above work fine in *DS3 mode but you'll want to
experiment with *DS4 fonts to get the right look.
