Just because this is the DOS size... and it is ok on cheaper 800x600 and 
even 1024 displays. Do you suggest an extra size? 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 
are available, I just think that you want to prevent doesemu to get 
bloated :)

Yes, I am considering the usage with remote X via ssh. With Xfonts it is 
just as fast as local...

I will, looks very interesting :) but... how will Dosemu work with that? 
there must be a translation table somewhere
