Re: .0

Yes, there should be a /CONDENSED_FONT qualifier, but we didn't think of it
in time.  You can either use /WINDOW_ATTRIBUTES=(FONT=xxxx), if you don't
mind typing the complete font name (see Appendix D in the Guide to Xlib
Programming for a list of fonts), or you can create a resource file for
each window with *DECterm.condensedFont: on and use /RESOURCE_FILE.

    Thanks alot Bob, I should now be able to enhance my login so its just
    about perfect.

I tried the resource file. I copied the default one and called it 
DECW$TERMINAL_MARVEL.DAT and inserted *decterm.condensedFont: on , the decterm 
started OK but it was the default size. After trying several variations I gave 
up and decided to try the other way specifying a font and the same result. Here
is the command file I am using:


$ CREATE/TERM/DETACH/PROCESS=(DAVE_CHAMPS) -
/WINDOW_ATTRIBUTES=( -
ICON_NAME= "MARVEL", -
TITLE="CHAMPS", -
INITIAL="WINDOW", -
FONT=-DEC-Terminal-Bold-R-Normal--28-280-75-75-C-160-DEC-DECtech, -
x_pos=5, -
y_pos=30) -

I ought to mention that recently I've just changed to using MOTIF (still under
VMS) , and hadn't had chance to try this before, could this be the reason ?

What have I done wrong ?

It's case sensitive; you have to say *DECterm.condensedFont: on.

>FONT=-DEC-Terminal-Bold-R-Normal--28-280-75-75-C-160-DEC-DECtech, -

You should have asked for Narrow instead of Normal.  However, I think
DECterm will over-ride the fields that ask for Bold, Narrow and DECtech,
and you'll get the normal (non-condensed) double high font.  You should
go with the resource file solution.

I still can't seem to get it going. I tried removing a couple of lines from the 
resource file which related to size, and this is how it looks now:

DECW$TERMINAL.title:    SHAW03
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.shareColormapEntries:       on
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.bitPlanes:  2
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.defaultTitle:       MARVEL
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.defaultIconName:    MARVEL
DECW$TERMINAL.borderWidth:      1
DECW$TERMINAL.iconName: SHAW03
*DECterm.condensedFont: on


I then typed the command:

create/term/det/resource=disk$users1:[willoughbyd]decw$terminal_marvel.dat

and it still created a normal sized window.

?

    re: .-1:
    Try
    DECW$TERMINAL*condensedFont:on
    	-Rick 

>DECW$TERMINAL*condensedFont:on

Thanks for the suggestion....still no luck though 

I've also checked that it's reading the resource file by changing the name of 
the title and iconname. 

Dave

Try this:

	*DECterm.condensedFont: on
	*DECterm.adjustFontSizes: off

If adjustFontSizes is on, DECterm will switch between the condensed and
normal font based on whether the window has 80 columns or more.

				-- Bob

Still normal sized...

Dave.

Well, I tried the seemingly untested method of setting a terminal to condensed
and saving settings as DECW$TERMINAL_CONDENSED.DAT.  Here's the diff of the
two resource files:

Off-hand, I'd say that the following resources made the difference:

DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.displayWidth:       507
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.displayWidthInc:    6
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.displayHeightInc:   13

-75-C-6-ISO8859-1
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.condensedFont:      on
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.adjustFontSizes:    off
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.width:      507


Good luck,

Re: .10

displayWidth, displayWidthInc, displayHeightInc, fontUsed and width are
all computed at run time, so setting those resources should have no effect.

				-- Bob

These two did the trick for me:
    
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.condensedFont:      on
DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.adjustFontSizes:    off

Gee, why didn't I think of save settings?
