I don't use xdosemu, since its behavior is as you describe. But if I start an xterm -pc -geometry 80x25 & and then set the font to HUGE before starting dosemu, it works for me. > The 80x25 seems to be a default - don't know it it can be changed or not > but 80x25 works well for me.

Well, if it works for you, then I guess you are ok. But I find that starting my own xterm, setting font size, and then using dosemu works for me. I don't use xdosemu for the reasons you give.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
