Re: MEDM fonts?

[Gasper Pajor <gasper.pajor@cosylab.com>]

Hi Heinrich,

have you edited the fonts.alias file, as described here:
http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/EpicsDocumentation/ExtensionsManuals/MEDM/MEDM.html#Fonts

It's been some time since I last used MEDM, but I remember I had to do 
that in order to get a decent looking screen.

Regards,
   Gasper
