APVIEW /FONTS Utility Program

To change the font selection list, use the CA Automation Point APVIEW/FONTS utility program

Note: The APVIEW /FONTS utilities program and the Remote Viewer (APVIEW.exe) cannot run at the same time. Before you run the APVIEW /FONTS program, verify that the Remote Viewer is not running.

To change the font list for the remote workstation, follow this procedure:

  1. Issue this command from your workstation operating system prompt:
    APVIEW /FONTS
    

    The program displays a list of the available fonts that are installed on your workstation. The selection list includes only non-proportional (mono-spaced) 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.

  2. Highlight each font you want to use.

    Note: 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.

  3. Click OK.
  4. Choose Exit Remote Viewer from the APVIEW /FONTS system menu to stop the program and save your font selections.

    CA Automation Point stores your font selections in the AUTOMATE.fnt file.

  5. Restart the Remote Viewer to put your updated font list into effect.
