1143.0. "Big fonts for EVE" by TAV02::DORON (Doing my BEST !!!) Thu Jul 20 1989 08:35

HI,
 I am soory if it was mentioned before. I want to change the fonts in my EVE
(via the filevue) to bigger. Should I do it in SYS$SHARE:TPU.DAT? If yes how?

	I am a novice in DECwindows so I am sorry if it sounds stupid.

			Thanks in advance,

Below is the TPU resource file that I use to get big fonts (among other
things).  The line you want to pay special attention to is *fontSetSelection.

1143.2Documentation Reference?TMIS01::DORONDoing my BEST !!!Sun Jul 23 1989 02:097
Thanks Michael,

 I just got my documentation kit last week. Can you (or any one) guide me to the 
book that describes the syntax and the meaning of the fields that are availabe
on TPU.DAT and any other file of that family?

The TPU.DAT file that I use is based on the one that can be found in 
SYS$LIBRARY.  Since TPU uses the DECterm widget, i figured out the resource
name for DECterm that causes big fonts to be used.

I don't believe the resource names are officially documented anywhere.  As
far as I know, changing them is really "unsupported" and "do at your own
risk".
