I would like to have the VT100 emulator use alternate fonts. After I
installed SR9.5, the VT100 uses a large font on a DN3000, but the (original)
smaller font on a DN300. A string dump of /sys/vtserver shows the string
"~user_data/vt100_config" -- what can you configure?

However you may want to do what I did. The vt100 simply uses a bunch of fonts in /sys/dm/fonts. There are two sets, one large and one small, I simply made all the large ones links to the small ones.

The trouble with this is that different people sharing the same node want different fonts. A possibility is to make /sys/dm/fonts/vt100s?* links to ~user_data/somewhere, but then all those users who don't care would also have to make arrangements to have ~user_data/somewhere reference an appropriate font set. --Dennis Dennis Cottel Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego, CA 92152 (619) 225-2406 dennis@NOSC.MIL sdcsvax!noscvax!dennis

The trouble with this is that different people sharing the same node
want different fonts.
A possibility is to make /sys/dm/fonts/vt100s?* links to ~user_data/somewhere,
but then all those users who don't care would also have to make arrangements
to have ~user_data/somewhere reference an appropriate font set.
How about making them links through $(VT100FONTS) or some such, and setting
VT100FONTS to /sys/dm/fonts by default in `node_data/startup.mumble, but changing it
to your personal font directory, which then contains links back to the guys you want
in /sys/dm/fonts, in one of your init files?
