Hi Kaczy (just gessing your name :),

To get the console characters you will need the fonts that I indicated. I understand from your explanation the you are using the internal font which is 8x8 and net very nice because of the limited resolution.
The terminus fonts are very good looking.

as for 50 lines, have you used the command "mode co80,50"?

I just saw that there is a newer version in CVS about the 43 lines problem, mine is a bit older...

Hi Andrzej,

Get this package: xfonts-terminus-dos_4.12-2_all.deb

If you don't use Debian (like me) open it (I used Ark), get the cp852 font, and install it manually in Xfonts. and run mkfontdir. Configure dosemu to use it...

It's triky, but I did it with cp850 and it is great!

If you want 80x43, forguet the old versions. Only CVS will do.

On condole, you are probably using the VGA hardware. It is simulated well in the CVS dosemu. 50 lines are ok in 1.3.2. Note that maybe your font package does not have the 8x8 font included. Try the latest FreeDOS display packages, it may help too.



I wanted to report success, and actually no arcane tricks were needed.
All that was required was to fetch the cvs version of dosemu and latest relase of freedos after install change the default autoexec to 852 and dosemu.conf value external characterset to ISO-8859-2, and internal character set to cp852.
voila

work well with all 80x25, 80x43, 80x50
the font is quite crappy in xdosemu if you change the window size, but if you don't need (and I don't) 1024x768 just reduce the screen to 800x600 and the font size and look will be ok

small problem is in text console, because the maximum I could get with dosemu mode is 37 lines.
anyone know the solution here?


good luck,
Alain
