- We're in the process of configuring Host Presenter for use with Oracle on a Sun. Running
- windows in 640x480, none of the standard fonts fit an 80x24 screen completely. They all
- cut off 2 characters. This is a bit of a pain for full-screen data entry type stuff. We're trying
- to figure out if we can add new fonts to the list of available choices or make use of native
- windows fonts. Of course, most(or all?) of the windows fonts are proportional, which won't
- work well for terminal emulation.
-
- One more note, we're not necessarily commited to Host Presenter, we're certainlly not
- impressed with the speed, documentation, etc. Our only requirement is concurrent
- support of TCP/IP and SPX/IPX., and it would be nice to use a windows application as
- opposed to character mode.
-
- Thanks in advance!
