Please note that color display is device-dependent. You can use a color mixing dialog box to see how a particular named color displays on your system. The following procedure describes one way to display this dialog box:

1. Choose Screen Background... from the Session Manager's Options Menu.
   The Session Manager displays the Screen Background Options dialog box.
2. In this dialog box, click on the Screen Foreground Color or Screen Background Color buttons.
   The Session Manager displays a color mixing dialog box.
3. Choose Browser from the Color Model menu.

For more information about using the Color Mix dialog box, see the Using DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS.

Table C-1 lists VMS DECwindows 75 dpi fonts and their file names. Table C-2 lists VMS DECwindows 100 dpi fonts and their file names. Table C-3 lists VMS DECwindows Common Fonts. These fonts can be used with both 75 dpi and 100 dpi monitors. Table C-3 also lists font aliases for the fixed width fonts. For information about using fonts, see Chapter 8.

Note that a double dash occurs between the fifth and seventh fields of the font name. For example, the full XLFD name of a representative font is as follows:

-Adobe-ITC Avant Garde Gothic-Book-R-Normal--11-80-100-100-P-59-ISO8859-1

An example that shows how to use a file name as a font alias is provided in the following file: DECW$EXAMPLES:DECW$FONT_ALIAS_FILENAMES.DAT.
