The Font Options property page of the Display Options property sheet is used to select a session display font and to configure additional font options. From the BlueZone MenuBar, select Options:Display, or click the right mouse button while holding the mouse pointer over the session window and choose Display:Options. Choose the Font tab.
Font Selection ----
The Font Selection group is used to select a session display font. Options include:
Name: Displays the currently selected font name.
Style: Shows the currently selected font style.
Size: Displays the currently selected font size or ‘A’ if the font has been auto-sized by BlueZone. See Font Options below for information on auto-sizing the session display font.
Change: To change any of the features listed above, use the Change button to select a different display font name, style, and or size.
Options ----
The Options group is used to configure additional display font properties. Configuration options include:
Auto-Size Font: (relative to size of Session Window) When checked, BlueZone will auto-size the font to the largest font possible while still displaying all the session rows and columns within the session window. How well the auto-size font feature works depends largely on the quality of the font selected.
Auto-Size Session Window: (relative to the Font Size) If checked, and the OK or Apply button is pressed, BlueZone will auto-size the session window to the smallest window possible, while still displaying all the session rows and columns.
Dual Case Characters: If enabled then both upper and lower case characters will be displayed in the session window. If disabled then only upper case characters will be displayed in the session window.
Blinking Characters: Used to set the blink speed of blinking characters displayed in the host screen. When the Blinking Characters slide control has the keyboard input focus then the Sample group will display a sample of the currently configured blink rate. To get focus, left click on the slide control itself.
Row Spacing: Used to set the distance in pixels between lines of text in the session window. If Auto-Size Font is selected then this setting may effect the Font Size.
Column Spacing: Used to set the distance in pixels between characters in the session window. If Auto-Size Font is selected then this setting may effect the Font Size.
Border Size: Used to set the border width in pixels. The Border (if set to a number greater than 0) is an equal space that goes all the way around the BlueZone display window. Left side, top, right side and bottom. You don't actually see a border, you see the space created by the border size setting. If the size is set to zero, screen data will start at the extreme edges of the display window. Increasing the size of the border will place that amount of space in pixels between the edge of the display window and the screen data, equally around the entire screen.
Default: Used to set all of the controls in Options group to their default values.
Highlight Zero Character: Used to choose how BlueZone displays the "zero" character. In many fonts, its hard to tell the difference between a capital O and the number zero. This feature helps distinguish the number zero from the capital O by adding a dot or a slash to the zero. From the drop down listbox, choices are:
No Highlighting - Displays the zero character exactly as the currently configured font displays it.
Add Center Dot - Adds a dot to the center of the zero character.
Add Slash - Adds a slash to the zero character.
Sample ----
The Sample window is used to show how the currently configured font settings will appear in the display session.
