On your VGA system. If you have PGME installed, you can load one of its larger fonts. For example, from the PGME directory, you could run: qfntload PGM20.FNT That would be an 80x20 screen. PGM25.FNT for 80x16 and PGM26.FNT for 80x15. However, these are only loaded temporarily. That means the consume no memory. It also means the font will be reset whenever the video mode changes or is reset. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
