Session Options/Terminal/Appearance
From SecureCRT
A session is a set of options that are assigned to a connection to a remote machine. These settings and options are saved under a session name and allow the user to have different preferences for different hosts.
A combination of session settings that specify a variety of colors associated with the terminal window, including foreground and background.
Terminal
/ Appearance
The Appearance category of the Session Options dialog allows you to configure the appearance of the screen for the selected session.
Current color scheme group
This list box displays the current color scheme for this session's window and allows you to select the color scheme for your session windows from the existing schemes. By using the Edit... and New buttons, you can also modify existing schemes or create a new ones.
Note: If the settings for this option differ from the color scheme settings in the Global Options/Terminal/Appearance/Color Scheme dialog, these settings will override the global settings.
For more information on color schemes, see Overview of Color Schemes and Creating or Modifying a Color Scheme.
This group allows you to select the font displayed in your session window.
Normal font
This box displays the current font used in this session's window. By using the Font... button, you can select a different font to display.
Narrow font
Check this option to display the narrow font currently being used and to enable the Font... button. By using the Font... button, you can select a different font to display.
Character encoding
Different computer systems can use different character
encodings for the same language. For example, UNIX variants often use
a character encoding called Extended UNIX Coding (EUC) to represent Japanese
characters. Microsoft Windows uses an encoding called Shift JIS. SecureCRT also supports UTF-8
character encoding for those systems that require it. This option allows
you to select the encoding method you need to display your language. Select
the type of encoding used by the remote system. If the remote system uses
the same character encoding as used by Microsoft Windows systems, select
Default. This option uses facilities built into the Microsoft
operating system to decode and display the data. If the remote system
uses a different encoding, select from the available encoding methods.
If the encoding method for your language is not available, try setting
this option to Default (be sure that your font and script
settings are correct). If you still cannot display your language, please let us know.
Use Unicode line-drawing characters
Check this box to use Unicode line-drawing characters.
