Jon, there are a couple of things you can do.

First, there's a tab for image. I haven't quite worked that out yet; it should prhaps help with AFPDS files. For SCS it seems to show a bit-mapped rendering of the spooled file.

Much better for your purposes, though, is that when you're on the Text tab, you can right-click to set the font.

I've been using the SoftLanding spool file plug-ins for some years now and they can be very useful.

In V8 IBM have added spool support but I'm finding it less than useful and I wonder if it is just me because what I'm seeing makes no sense as an implementation.

First of all double-click on a spool file does nothing because open is not the default action. Secondly if you pick to open the file it is displayed in a proportional font which makes it next to impossible to read. I hoped this was something that was an oversight but the first fix pack doesn't address it.

Is this what everyone is seeing or have I got a screwed up install again?
