I have a config file with the following:

dochost {
host = dochost
map = 37
font_80 = Terminal
font_132 = Terminal
colsep_style = none
caret_style = blink

env.DEVNAME = $loginname$S1
env.TERM = IBM-3477-FG

+resize_fonts
}

The +resize_font option seems to be a big probem when
switching from 80 to 132-column mode, as follows:

Start session with this configuration.
Sign on
Display a spool file.
Spool file displays correctly, 132-column format.
Exit with F3
Window resizes, but FONT CHANGES TO SYSTEM (default).

This happens if only font_80 or font_132 or both are
specified.

I'm running Win98SE, connecting to an AS/400 running
OS/400 (no idea of PTF level).

    I'm seeing a prob with resize_fonts as well when switching between 80 col and 132 col.
    I'm running version 0.17.3.
    After repeatedly viewing spool files in 132 and returning to 80, the screen shrinks with each iteration.
    Actually, the first time I return from 132 to 80, the screen jumps to the 132 size while showing 80 cols. Then, the remaining iterations shrink the screen size.

    Here's my tn5250rc file:
    map=37
    font_80=Courier New-12x20
    font_132=Courier New-10x20
    env.TERM=IBM-3477-FC
    +unix_like_copy
    +resize_fonts
