Experimenting with Different APVIEW Screen Fonts

To experiment with different screen fonts to include in your font selection list for APVIEW

1. Follow the procedure in the section APVIEW /FONTS Utility Program to display a list of the available fonts that are installed on your workstation.
2. Select all the fonts that the APVIEW /FONTS program offers.
3. Restart CA Automation Point.
4. Switch to any window (other than a Plot window) and select fonts one at a time to see how they appear.

   If a font is too small to read or if it produces a window size too similar to that produced by another font, omit that font from your font list. Note the names and sizes of the fonts you want to use.

5. Start the APVIEW /FONTS program again and reselect all the fonts that you chose in step 4.

Note: If your workstation does not already have suitable fonts installed, you may install third-party font packages. CA Automation Point will use only those fonts that are non-proportional (mono-spaced) and those that fall within a size range that would be viewable on the Automation Point Desktop. Third-party fonts must be of type Bitmap, which means the font file contains bitmap pictures of each character at a supported size.

If you plan to use third-party fonts with Remote Viewer, you must also install these fonts on all Remote Viewer client workstations. If you are unable to see these qualifying third-party fonts in the appropriate CA Automation Point font utility program, you can either rename or remove the automate.fnt file, then re-execute the font utility program.
