| 67 |
<span class="qanda">A.</span> If you edit TERATERM.INI while Tera Term sessions are running, the change does not become effective immediately even for sessions opened after the change was made. This is because information of TERATERM.INI is loaded into memory when the first Tera Term session is started and information is kept in memory while at least one Tera Term session is running. To refresh information in memory, execute the "<a href="../menu/setup-restore.html">[Setup] Restore setup</a>" command or close all Tera Term sessions. You don't need to do so for setup files which do not have the name TERATERM.INI. |

<span class="qanda">Q.</span> What is "Tera Term extension interface"?<br> |
| 99 |
<span class="qanda">A.</span> It is the interface between Tera Term and add-on modules. An add-on module is provided as a DLL which can hook Tera Term user interface functions, setup functions and Winsock functions. At the point of Mar 1998, no add-on module has been developed. Projects of developing add-on modules which support ssh and SSL are in progress. See Tera Term home page for currently available add-on modules. |

<span class="qanda">A.</span> Tera Term provides the original font "Tera Special" font to display line drawing characters. The font is scaled to fit the size of normal character font. Depending on the scaling factor, this mismatch problem may occur. Please find a good choice of font and size for normal characters which does not cause this problem. |

<span class="qanda">A.</span> Tera Term uses only fixed-pitch fonts such as "Terminal" and "Courier" because characters should be displayed with equal spacing in order to emulate the VT terminal properly. Displaying proportional font characters with equal spacing is in principle possible but it makes program complicated and slow. So Tera Term does not use proportional fonts. |
