Font Type
PASSPORT supports five different font types. The default font is the PASSPORT terminal font. However, both Windows raster and True Type fonts may also be used.

• PASSPORT Terminal Font
  This font is a bit-mapped raster font, closely resembling the font of a terminal. It has many available font sizes. This font is the default.

• PASSPORT Thin Font
  This font is basically the same as the PASSPORT terminal font, except thinner. This font is recommended for low resolution screen display, like 800 x 600 or 640 x 480.

• PASSPORT True Type Font
  This font contains all the characters in the PASSPORT Terminal font but scales better. This font is recommended for very high resolution displays, like 1200 x 800, 1600 x 1200 or above. This font is also recommend for any resolution when more control over the size of the terminal emulation window is needed.

• Windows Raster Font
  These fonts are similar to the PASSPORT Terminal font, but do not have as many font sizes to choose from (some may have only one font size). When this option is chosen, all of the available Windows fixed pitch raster fonts are displayed in the font list box, along with the font type and size.

• Windows True Type Font
  True Type fonts scale better and therefore have more sizes available than raster fonts, including the PASSPORT Terminal font. When this option is chosen, all of the available Windows fixed pitch True Type fonts are displayed in the font list box, along with the font type and size.

Note: All fonts listed above provide full APL character support.

Fixed Font Size
When this option is enabled, the font size is determined by the size setting. When the window is resized, the font size remains. If data is pushed off the screen due to the font size, vertical and/or horizontal scroll bars may be displayed, which the user can use to view host data which is currently off the screen.
