This article explains what to do when Animator starts in an X window and the font size is too small.
Problem:
Background information:
Animator will start in an X window under the following circumstances:
- the COBSW= A environment variable, or
- just-in-time debugging, or
- CBL_DEBUGBREAK, or
- Debugging Services and Applications on Enterprise Server using the cobesdebug utility
The problem is that the Animator window may be too small for practical use.
Resolution:
Animator opens “xterm” in an X terminal window. Animator does not specify any particular font, so xterm will use the default font configured within X. To change this X default, you could edit/create a file named .Xresources in your home directory. It should resemble the one attached to this Knowledgebase article. In this file, notice the line:
xterm*font:8x13
You could use the example value 8x13 and the example blue background color, or you could modify these values to your liking. After creating the .Xresources file, run the command:
xrdb -merge .Xresources
to make the changes active.
Remember that the size of the xterm is not controlled by the Server Express product; instead it is dependent on your X configuration. The above approach to configuring X is just an example; Micro Focus does not guarantee that it will work on all X systems. For further questions regarding X configuration, consult your system administrator.
