Please read the following HOWTO document for some really good docs/examples on how to adjust your fonts in Linux:

If you are doing this on Windows then Scott will have to answer whether
or not the windows version supports scaling text. As for
xt5250/tn5250/x5250 on linux/BSD/whatever it does not support scaling
the text to match an arbitrary window size. I'm working on this for
x5250, albeit very slowly.

FWIW, I'm trying to use the TN5250 app on Ubuntu. I have the IBM client for Windows if I want to use Windows, but I'm trying to get an O/S that is still supported to use on older hardware. :-)
