this is what I have for coding
set gui font courier_new 16 (10-18 depending on the user. which ever permits
proper viewing)
set gui window resize-mode scale-font
set gui window run-mode restore
set gui window run-mode maximize
and ya I know about the font type & height needing to be declared at once.
This set of lines work but its awkward when loading the client jumps around
as it as it goes through re-sizing. Not a big deal really.
The origin of the problem is that we have a multitude of Monitor sizes. The
Fields that we type in, which are indicated by long underscores/underlines,
aren't viewable for some users unless they resize it.
