The Text Tab for the XTERM Type

You use this tab to select font and specify screen size.
Also, you can choose one of the three modes to define appearance of your font
against window size (for the XTERM terminal type only).
The XTERM terminal emulation provides the 16-colors mode instead of B/W one.
Rows
This field lets you specify the number of rows that will appear in your emulation window.
Columns
This field lets you specify the number of columns that will appear in your emulation window.
The Set Window Size Box
In this box, you can select one of the three modes to define appearance
of your font against window size.
- Standard
The row and column numbers define the size of your actual screen
(see section The View Menu).
The values are read in from the ini-file (first from the terminal definition file,
Terminfo.ini).
In this mode, your initial window size will only be defined by the screen size and
font size selected.
The window displays scrollbars when its size is less than that of the screen.
The Wide screen check box toggles the number of columns between 80 and 132.
- Change WinSize
The row and column numbers you specified define the size of actual screen
(see section The View Menu).
You may type in up to 1024 rows of 132 columns each.
In this mode, font appearance will not be changed when you change your window size.
The window displays scrollbars when its size is less than that of the screen.
With the Fit to screen check box selected, an application window is fully displayed
on the PC's screen (i.e., it does not cross screen boundaries). If necessary, Scroll Bars
are created.
With the Dynamic resize check box selected, the "no scrollbar" mode is provided.
The actual Rows and Columns numbers are dynamically being changed while window resizing.
- Change Font Size
The row and column numbers you specified define the size of actual screen
(see section The View Menu).
You may type in up to 1024 rows of 132 columns each.
In this mode, font appearance will be changed according to your window size.
The window displays the entire screen.
With the Proportional check box selected, the vertical dimension will only
define font appearance. Otherwise, both dimensions of your window will define it.
