When I use the default font in .dosemurc, both xterm and konsole (KDE) will re-size. However, I prefer in .xdosrmurc to specify the $_X_font = vga12x30 which is a large 11 wide x 8.5 high font. The window apparently gets fixed by the size of the font. My only remaining problem is that I cannot get colors in the directory listing - just had to throw that off thread statement in.

Re: [Freedos-user] Howto specify a dosemu font?
We're getting off-topic for the FreeDOS lists - you can probably get better help on the DOSEmu lists. However, DOSEmu will use an X font resource. Use 'xlsfonts | less' to view what fonts are available to you. I was able to edit my dosemu.conf to specify a different font (even one that didn't support the VGA extended characters - EDIT looks very weird that way.) If you can see the font in 'xlsfonts' then you should be able to reference it just fine in your dosemu.conf file. -jh On 5/15/07, Larry Alkoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to specify a larger font for dosemu 1.2.2 than the default font specified in ~/.dosemu of # $_X_font = # default 8.5w x 4.25h My specified satisfactory font in ~/.dosemurc is: $_X_font = vga12x30 # The biggest 11 wide x 8.5high I'm using Kubuntu Feisty Fawn and invoke dosemu with /usr/bin/xdosemu.

Re: [Freedos-user] Howto specify a dosemu font?
Hello Jim and thanks for your reply. I have been getting replies from both the doesmu list and the freedos list - that's why I posted to both. You have given me a new resource 'xlsfonts' Running it gave me 6,293 lines of fonts, some of which are just different sizes. But many more than I thought were in my Kubuntu. I have fixed the problem of dosemu finding my selected font although I don't really know how I did it. Some combination of: mkfontdir - create an index of X font files in a directory fc-cache -f -v xset - set user preferences for X see xset fp rehash to reset the font paths to current value. Somehow my dosemu with 12x30 easy to read font has re-appeared. Larry Jim Hall wrote: We're getting off-topic for the FreeDOS lists - you can probably get better help on the DOSEmu lists.
