TinyTERM for Windows versions prior to 4.00 have an option to scale the font to the screen. This causes the font to resize automatically for a best fit in the current emulator window.

If this is turned off, the user can select the font size instead. This allows viewing only a portion of the screen at a time, but at a much larger size. Scrollbars allow the user to move left or right, up or down at will through the current screen.

This feature was removed in TinyTERM version 4.00. The customer-requested addition of the ability to add a background image to the emulator window required it. With a background image in place, using the horizontal scrollbar caused font display problems. So in TinyTERM version 4.x, the font automatically scales to the screen. There is no workaround.

TinyTERM and TERM on other operating systems rely on the OS to handle font sizing. There are no font size settings for DOS, UNIX, Linux, etc.
