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.
|
|

Options
The Options group is used to configure additional display font properties. Configuration options include:
|
• |
Auto-Size Font: If enabled, the size of the font is calculated based on the size of the session window. If this option is enabled, the
Auto Size Session Windows option is disabled.
|
|
• |
Auto-Size Session Window: If enabled, the size of the session window is calculated based on the selected font size. If this option is enabled, the
Auto Size Font option is disabled.
|
|
• |
Blinking Characters: Used to set the blink speed of blinking characters displayed in the host screen. When the Blinking Characters track bar
control has the keyboard input focus then the Sample group displays a sample of the currently configured blink rate.
|
|
• |
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 can affect 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
can affect 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 starts at the extreme edges of
the display window. Increasing the size of the border places 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.
|
Sample
The Sample window shows how the currently configured font settings will appear in the display session.
Note
As a general rule, BlueZone works best with the bitmap font called New Renex Terminal. You can of course, choose any other
Windows font you like.
