SUMMARY
The default font for the Works Communications module can be changed by adding a line to the MSWORKS3.INI file. The change goes into the [Communications] section of the MSWORKS3.INI file. The syntax is as follows

[Communications]

DefaultFont=, ,

where is the font size, is the font's name, and is the type of font.

For example:

[Communications]

DefaultFont=8,Courier New,Modern

The best choices for a Communications font are: Terminal, System, Courier, or Courier New.



MORE INFORMATION
Very important: Do NOT use a proportionally spaced font like Arial or Times New Roman for the font. Proportionally spaced fonts cause problems with alignment in the Communications window while connected.

The font family should always be Modern because monospaced fonts should all fall into this category.
