Font Configuration Program

To change the font selection list, use the CA Automation Point font configuration program.

Note: The font configuration program and CA Automation Point cannot run at the same time. Before you run the font configuration program, verify that CA Automation Point is not running.

To change the font list on the local machine, follow this procedure:

  1. Start Configuration Manager.
  2. Choose Expert Interface, Automation, Automation Point Desktop Settings.
  3. Click the Customize Fonts to start the font configuration program. The Select Fonts dialog displays.

    A list of the available fonts that are installed on your workstation is displayed. The selection list includes only non-proportional (monospaced) fonts large enough to be readable, yet small enough to allow 80 columns of text to display. The fonts listed appear in order, from the smallest to the largest.

  4. Highlight each font you want to use.

    Keep in mind that the fewer number of fonts in your font list, the fewer number of keystrokes or Next font menu selections you need to reduce or enlarge a window.

  5. Click OK.
  6. Choose Action, Shutdown AP Utilities to stop the program and save your font selections.

    CA Automation Point stores your font selections in the AUTOMATE.fnt file, which is used by both CA Automation Point and the Remote Viewer running on the workstation.

  7. Restart CA Automation Point to put your updated font list into effect.
