Hi Bjørndal,
have you tried mintty?
i don't know if BRLTTY is compatible with it, but if so, it's a much
much better alternative
to the DOS box. You can freely change the window size, and it has no
limit on the
font sizes.
To start mintty, Cygwin setup creates a shortcut on the desktop.
But you can also start mintty by typing the command 'mintty' in Cygwin
running in a DOS box.
To resize the font,
- press Ctrl and the Plus key, or
- press Ctrl and use the scroll wheel.
- you can also right-click in the mintty window, and select
'Options...' at the bottom of
the menu that appears, and then select "text" on the left side,
then click the "Select...' button
and you have a regular font dialog.
i hope mintty is compatible with accessibility software.
If you use Windows 7, there is some magnifying application. i think it
comes when you press
the Windows key and the Plus key.
HTH,
/Herbert

When I give a lecture or a speech, I use to display some text to the
listeners. I create simple HTML pages, that I display on a projector.
Because I'm blind, I need to have the same text on a braille display. I
want to use a text based web browser, lynx, so I start Cygwin from
within a normal Dos window (cmd), and from there, I can start BRLTTY and
Lynx. This works perfect for me with the braille display, but to the people
who are looking at the wall, the text is a bit too small, and not so easy
to read.
Is it possible to enlarge the window and the font size within the Dos
box environment?
Thanks,
Lars
