I don't know, but there might be other fonts in /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts
that might be suitable.

Hmm, did dosemu ask you the following?

  Going to install your private DOSEMU files into the directory
  $HOME/dosemu
  Enter an empty string to confirm, a new path, or "none" (without
  the quotes) if you don't want this:"

that however should not happen if you just delete ~/.dosemurc since we
only copy if:

if [ ! -f $HOME/.dosemurc -a -f $BPATH_FILE -o ! -f $HOME/.dosemu/disclaimer ]; then

i.e.
either ~/.dosemurc does not exist but ~/.dosemu/bindist_path exists
   (then it tells you an upgrade story)
or ~/.dosemu/disclaimer does not exist
   (then it asks you the question I wrote above)

Can you check that you're not using an old 'dosemu' script?

I'll probably do something about the situation in any case (it violates
the principle of the least surprise) by just putting/adjusting $_hdimage
in ~/.dosemurc and adding a comment that other things can be adjusted (see
systemwide dosemu.conf), rather than copying the dosemu.conf over to
.dosemurc.
