Hi, would it be possible for XDosemu to create a new font on the fly and announce it to the X font server? I mean, vga.pcf is designed to look like the 8x16 ROM font, but how about having 8x8, 8x14 and USER fonts as well?
I am not sure, but completely emulating fonts and effectively running XDosemu in graphics-only mode to simulate arbitrary- charset-text-mode without the help of X will probably run sl�wer? However, graphics mode also is computationally heavy (if X and DOS use different color depths and palettes) but still fast, so after all, why not give it a try and have XDosemu "pixel together" its text mode looks from font and text data, instead of using the X font rendering for that. PS: I think running dosemu or even a font change helper as ROOT in order to change fonts while running the text mode only version of Dosemu on a real console is a BAT IDEA, I think. Maybe using the fbdev grahpics capabilities of the text consoles of Linux instead? Or am I getting things wrong here and THOSE are only available inside XTERMs (e.g. the new w3c text mode web browser displays graphics even in an xterm - I do not know if this is related to what it would do on a "Ctrl-Alt-F1" type text console).
