Hi!
How can I make the system font bigger? (e.g. setting the display to 20 lines instead of 25) I am using cga.
Hmm. CGA. Not even EGA or VGA. In VGA, you would get: C:\>mode con lines=42 Lines must be 25, 28, 43 or 50, or font size 8, 14 or 16. If you have VESA, 30, 34 or 60 lines can be available, too. Given that CGA has 320x200 and 640x200 modes, you could try to load some 8x14 or 8x16 font, but that would mean only 12 or 14 lines. In addition, the CGA BIOS does not contain fonts larger than 8x8, so you would have to use the DOS DISPLAY driver to load the larger fonts. However, that driver probably ALSO will assume that you only want 8x8 fonts and fail to load the larger fonts. According to wikipedia, CGA only supports ROM fonts. I guess it just does not have enough graphics RAM. You could only switch to a slow graphics mode and let the BIOS render the text in software. Should work for software which does not directly access text screen buffer memory and only uses DOS or BIOS to show text.
