We're getting off-topic for the FreeDOS lists - you can probably get better help on the DOSEmu lists.
However, DOSEmu will use an X font resource. Use 'xlsfonts | less' to view what fonts are available to you. I was able to edit my dosemu.conf to specify a different font (even one that didn't support the VGA extended characters - EDIT looks very weird that way.) If you can see the font in 'xlsfonts' then you should be able to reference it just fine in your dosemu.conf file. -jh On 5/15/07, Larry Alkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am trying to specify a larger font for dosemu 1.2.2 > than the default font specified in ~/.dosemu of > # $_X_font = "" # default 8.5"w x 4.25"h > > > My specified satisfactory font in ~/.dosemurc is: > $_X_font = "vga12x30" # The biggest 11" wide x 8.5"high > > I'm using Kubuntu Feisty Fawn and invoke dosemu with /usr/bin/xdosemu. > > My fonts for dosemu are in ~/.fonts.
