2589.0. "Temrinal Font changes for V2 DECW" by SCOTMN::WOOD (El Vaquero) Tue Apr 10 1990 07:08

Ref : Section 3.8.7 (pg. 3-12/3-13) VMS V5.3 Release Notes.

Hi there again,

              According to this reference the terminal fonts have been
standardized. I have a customer who is having to change his application in
order to accomodate these changes, the only problem is that the last
paragraph bothers him. I quote :-

  'Note that the terminal fonts are intended solely for use by DECterm and
should not be used by other clients.'

  Does this mean that they are liable to change without notice ?

comments please

Thanks

Richard

2589.1	Probably just means there's a royalty.	REGENT::BROOMHEAD	Don't panic -- yet.	`Tue Apr 10 1990 12:25`	0

	I don't believe that this is a royalty issue. It's that the terminal fonts are there to support the DECterm application, and may indeed change again if DECterm needs the changes.
