Re: Any suggestions for a font for iACS on Windows 11

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using Win 11 both on my Dell laptop and in Citrix for work - using 
IBM3270 on both, Font Scaling off on my laptop, on on the Citrix one, 
otherwise Fixed Font off and Antialiasing off. I've used Consolas and 
Lucida Console in earlier versions, and they've worked fine.

Frankly, I've rather surprised that IBM3270 is doing so well. We are 
pretty standard US English both on the COMMON box and on the one at work.
