Claim One:
1. A method for minimizing an unused area in a graphics window generated by a client computer and distributing in the graphics window a plurality of characters comprising a text produced during an emulation session between the client computer and a host computer, comprising the steps of: receiving the text containing the plurality of characters from the host computer; determining dimensions of the graphics window; using a font-sizing system on the client computer to minimize the unused area in the graphics window by scaling each character of the plurality of characters in the text to maximize a text area in the graphics window; using a font synthesizing procedure subsequent to using the font-sizing system to minimize the unused area further by scaling each character of the plurality of characters in the text to maximize further the text area in the graphics window; using a linear distribution procedure subsequent to minimizing the unused area using the font synthesizing procedure to distribute a remaining unused area within the graphics window; and centering the text area within the graphics window subsequent to using the linear distribution procedure.
