Hi,

Telnet and console.

Is the font related to what emulation software that we used? Currently we are using telnet and tera term.

Hello,

If you are using "putty" as your telnet client, you can easily change the fonts by "Window" section --> Appearance --> Font setting--> Change

Hello,

In order to use # /usr/bin/X11/xlsfonts, X windows should be running, You can do it easily by starting XManager (http://www.netsarang.com/) in passive mode and exporting DISPLAY in your telnet session as,

# export DISPLAY=178.16.85.188:0.0

# xterm -fn fontname

It will open up a XTerm in your PC, you can then type # /usr/bin/X11/xlsfonts to get font list.

Because you are coming in using a telnet session the "font" being used is selected by the telnet program (for example tera term) not by the server.

Look into the configuration of terminal server package you are using.

If you are just opening a DOS window and using 'telnet', simply click in the upper left corner->click on properties->and change the font of the DOS window and it'll change the font for your telnet session.
