Changing size of window/fonts

Changing size of window/fonts

[John R. Sowden]

When I change the size of a dosemu window, the font stretches, but the font 
quality takes a major dive.  The when I cant to rturn the window to the size 
which uses the good font, I cant find it.

1)  Is there a command that returns the window the the original default size 
with the quality font?

2) Can I install multiple "quality fonts" an select window size in increments, 
utilizing the quality fonts?

If you don't change to full screen the window size is termined by the size of 
the font and the size of the dos application. A normal dos application has 80 
signs to 24 lines. Some applications can change to 28, 30, 34, 43 or 50 
lines.

If you want different window sizes you have to use different fonts. 
Additionally to the normal fonts in Dosemu a friend of mine created some 
fonts which you can reach under 
http://resmedicinae.sourceforge.net/manuals/apw_linux/vgafonts.tgz. They are 
especially created for german characters, but english characters should be no 
problem. You have to introduce these fonts to X11.

If you want these different fonts called up at Dosemu start, you can make 
different $HOME/.dosemurc-files and call dosemu with 

dosemu -f <.dosemurc-file>

In the $HOME/.dosemurc-file you have to configure the font as

$_X_font = "vga11x19"

if you want to see the font vga11x19.
