"current" seems to be only for reading the value - as in -
query current.font
To set the "current" font, use this -
set font "Courier New-8"

Ok, no success thus far:
set current.font "Courier New-8"
returns message:
"current.font" is not a valid parameter for the "set" command.
I am currently running RDP 8.0.3
I have a "promise" from our sys admin he will get me to 9 the week of July 8th.
Also: my LPEX > APPEARANCE font is set to "IBM3270-LAO-regular-12"
With my vision, this is the only font I am happy with for programming.
This font only works in RDP when I have an active iSeries Access for Windows session.
I kind of hate that dependency, but it is not an issue because I
commonly use PDM, command line and QCMD.
My guess is the RDP print function cannot fine the IBM3270 font at print time
and uses a font of last resort.
Maybe I'm odd, but I think IBM knows more about what a video screen font should
be than most.
Another detail relating to read-ability I question is use of white background,
especially for long sessions entering code.
Thanks to all for your help !

I see from the help that you can also do this kind of thing -
set default.print.font "Courier New-8"
I like Lucida Console myself - YMMV.

Much appreciated: will try both "default.print" and "LPEX > APPEARANCE"

I would like to print program code from RDP and specify the font
(courier, or maybe IBM3270-LAO-regular-10), but how to do this ?
I use the following LPEX commands to set up the page for printing of source
code:
set default.print.lineNumbers on
set default.print.leftMargin 300
set default.print.topMargin 150
set default.print.bottomMargin 150
I believe you can also specify, for example:
set default.print font "Courier New-bold-10"
(I have never needed to do this as I set the editor font within the LPEX > APPEARANCE preference, which seems to default for printing as well.)
(I find Liberation Mono to be ideal for edit and print purposes - just my personal preference.)
LPEX commands are entered at the very bottom of the edit view - type "?" to get more details.
Hope this helps.
Brian Parkins.
