Re: cp852 font

[Alain <alainm@pobox.com>]

Hi Andrzej,

Get this package: xfonts-terminus-dos_4.12-2_all.deb

If you don't use Debian (like me) open it (I used Ark), get the cp852 
font, and install it manually in Xfonts. and run mkfontdir. Configure 
dosemu to use it...

It's triky, but I did it with cp850 and it is great!

If you want 80x43, forguet the old versions. Only CVS will do.

On condole, you are probably using the VGA hardware. It is simulated 
well in the CVS dosemu. 50 lines are ok in 1.3.2. Note that maybe your 
font package does not have the 8x8 font included. Try the latest FreeDOS 
display packages, it may help too.

good luck,
Alain
