Re: tn5250 font size...

[Scott Klement <tn5250@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Shane,

Due to the way the code was written for the xt5250, you have to specify 
BOTH font_80 and font_132 (even if you set them to the same value) in 
order for the font keyword to be recognized.

So set your configuration file to:

nal820 {
    host=xx.xx.xx.xx
    +underscores
    font_80=12x24
    font_132=12x24
}


The .tn5250rc file on a Unix-based system (including Fedora) should be 
in your home directory.  There's also a tn5250rc file (without the 
leading dot) that can be placed in your system-wide configuration 
directory, which will be ${PREFIX}/etc/tn5250rc  where PREFIX is the 
prefix name you used when your built tn5250.

On FreeBSD, that means (by default) that the config file goes in 
/usr/local/etc/tn5250rc.   With RPM versions of tn5250 on RedHat, it 
always went to /etc/tn5250rc instead (though, when built from source it 
went into /usr/local/etc/tn5250rc)

The PREFIX variable is highly system dependent, unfortunately.  So you 
have to know where that sort of file is typically kept on your system... 
  For a single user, using .tn5250rc in the home directory might be the 
simplest.
