I copied your web page into my dosemu.nfo file. After experimenting with the fonts installed by dosemu, I simply entered the 12x24 font I liked from with 1.2.2 from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc (not in /usr/local/share/dosemu/Xfonts) and it worked perfectly! This makes my life a lot easier. Finally I'm going to be able to use my old favorite dos programs (WS SuperCalc and Q&A) without eyestrain. Do you have any advice for changing the white letters on black to something nicer like black letters on light background? Larry -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Slackware Linux
