tn5250 works fine in linux but on Windows no matter which font I've selected bold characters appear as standard characters boxed in with | at either side.

These lines are called "column separators", and they have nothing whatsoever to do with the font. You can turn them off by adding a configuration directive to TN5250's config file.

To do that:

a) Click Start->Run.  Type the following command:
     notepad c:\program files\tn5250\tn5250rc

   (If you installed TN5250 to a different directory, use that directory
    name instead of c:\program files\tn5250)

b) Add the following line of text to the start of the tn5250rc file that
   you just opened:
     colsep_style=none

c) Click File->Save to save your chnages.

d) If TN5250 is already open, you'll have to close it and re-open it to
   see the changes.
