When you run putty there are various configuration settings in a box on the right hand side of the window. One is Fonts and another Colours. Choose values that you like - I use "Monospace 12" for my ordinary characters. Then choose Session and put in a name in the "Saved Sessions" box and save it so you can load these values next time you run putty. You could also set colors and fonts on the command line or load a session when you run putty (see "man putty").

Did you pay close attentions to this bit:

Save the settings you're happy with then load that session each time you run putty:
Code:
putty -load session
if you're running putty from the menu then you need to edit the file /usr/share/applications/putty.desktop to change the Exec line to e.g.
Code:
Exec=putty -load mydefault
where "mydefault" is the session name containing your chosen fonts/colours.

All,

All this "in session" is wonderful, but I want to find the config file and change this for the 20+ sessions I have defined, because the color are not saving correctly for the sessions and I can not see the "blue" on my putty terminal at all.

Thanks!

All,

Never mind I found them in:

/home/user/.putty/sessions

Got them changed and testing.

Thanks!
