Then it might be a problem that the application defines its own custom
font. The normal line characters should work in xdos (try alt-200 with 200
on the numerical keyboard island as usual); else xdos does not use the
vga.pcf font. But if the application defines its own font using the BIOS
it is futile because this is not implemented for textmodes under X right
now. There is no problem on the console if the video card's BIOS is used,
of course.
Maybe the DOS app can be tricked in such a way that it thinks it cannot
change the font. It was impossible on the old CGA and Hercules
cards; maybe "mode bw80" helps.
