ESL Documentation

As the old "ESLFONTS" files contain multiple fonts, certain security tools consider them to be potential virus carriers, so will not allow ESL to install them. If you wish to continue to use the old bitmap fonts, please retain a copy of the ESLFONTS file, before uninstalling, then once the new version of ESL has been installed, copy the font file back into the ESL installation directory.

To ensure the old fonts are loaded and used, set the following configuration parameters:

FONTDLL=EslFonts.fon
DEFAULTFONT=medium

 

The following tables specify pixel sizes of ESL fonts. Total size includes the horizontal and vertical spacing used for each letter, respectively. These sizes will be true only if the screen size is the same size as the number of pixels in the display.
