Re: "Real" text in xdosemu

Jan,

I had the same issue. I wanted a larger font than was available, so I
was loading a standard font and then resizing the window to a larger
size. I finally found (thru some folks help on this site) a font large
enough to use without needing to resize the window. After loading that,
the window was large enough, but no longer re-sizable. And I could
once again do copy and paste.

The lines in the /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf file which matter are:
$_X_font = "vga1024norm" # <-- anything will work, this is a very large font
$_X_bilin_filt = (on)

Good luck.
