For those in the group using ACS, what font are most of you using? Any pro/cons.
I set my client to Menlo, fixed size 16. The size is a good compromise between very comfortable readability, and used screen space. (I've grown up with a 9" Macintosh display, with 512x342 pixels, so I'm *very* used to utilize overlapping Windows.)
Menlo is a monospaced Font being included with the macOS, I'm using and looking more pleasing than the standard 3270 font.
Using a fixed size has the advantage that the characters always are the same size, no matter if the display is in 24x80 or 27x132 mode. I found that this is better for my eyes. Drawback is, that frequent switching is somewhat annoying: To accommodate more space for the different "resolutions", the window is being resized dynamically. And, if the window is resized, it's top left corner stays where it is, instead of moving so that the bottom right corner will be within the visible screen boundary.
:wq! PoC
