Short answer: As far as I know, you can use any font you have installed.
Long answer:
TN5250, itself, doesn't know anything about fonts. When you specify
font_80 or font_132, it sends the font string that you typed to your
xterm. It's the xterm that understands fonts.
Therefore, the true question is, "what fonts do I have installed that work
in my xterm?"
As far as I know, you can use any installed font in xterm. But I can't
say that I've done much experimenting...
On FreeBSD, I can type "xlsfonts" or "xfontsel" to see what fonts are
available to me. I have no idea if this is available in Linux, but it
might be worth a try.
