| 3106.1 | Changing fonts is not automatic | STAR::VATNE | Peter Vatne, VMS Development | Fri Jul 20 1990 12:59 | 11 |
| The DECwindows server has no way of telling which monitor is attached
to the graphics board. You have to explicitly tell it through through
a command file. See SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE
for complete directions on how to do this. I believe all your customer
needs to do is change the density from 75 to 100 dpi.
Note that this will increase the size of all the fonts except for the
terminal fonts. [This is a long story in itself that I won't go into
here.] However, the CREATE/TERMINAL command has a qualifier that allows
the customer to choose alternate fonts. I would really like to hear
which terminal font the customer prefers.

| 3106.2 | only copying the .template? | FRAMBO::REHBERG | | Mon Jul 23 1990 04:49 | 10 |
| Thanks for answering the question in such a quick way.
I read the DECW$PRIVAT-SERVER-SETUP.TEMPLATE. There is written
something about the fonts. So I will copy this to an executable file
and set the dcl command for 100dpi. Then I will execute the whole file.
Is this correct? Or must I do something else? When will the .exe file
be executed? Every time I boot the system or only when I execute the file.
Must I write something in another executable file?
Help for answering
Best regards Sabine

| The file DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE should NOT be copied to
an EXE file, but to a .COM file with the same name.
After copying the file, you must edit it and do the customization that
your customer needs. For instance, to get the 100dpi fonts, you need
to retain the line that looks something like:
$ decw$server_density == "100"
Read the template file, it is quite descriptive of what must be done
to change server characteristics.

| 3106.4 | Restoart the server after modifying DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM | STAR::VATNE | Peter Vatne, VMS Development | Mon Jul 23 1990 15:13 | 4 |
| I guess "executable command file" is bad terminology... sorry. Substitute
the words "DCL command file". After you copy the template file to the .COM
file, you must restart the server, or reboot the system. The command files
that start the server will automatically execute DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM.
