Re: dosemu - help

[Frantisek Hanzlik <franta@hanzlici.cz>]

Hello Harry,

command "mode con cols=132 lines=43" works OK for me under X in dosemu 1.4.
Only things I must specify X font e.g.
$_X_font = "-b&h-luxi mono-medium-r-normal--0-200-75-100-m-0-iso8859-2"

I use Fedora 7, dosemu 1.4.0 svn1828, freedos kernel build 2036 cvs
  version Aug 18Aug2006, freedos mode version 29apr2004 by Eric Auer.

With internal bitmap font it seems that screen switch to
132 cols x 43 rows (on it is 132x43 ugly symbols and "mode con" say
/redirected to file, of course :)/ :

"Screen size: 132 columns, 43 rows, mode 85, font height 11."

but fonts for new mode aren't loaded. Normal font height in 80x25 mode
is 16. Maybe using DOS display and "mode con codepage" with proper .cpi
font file will work, I don't know. Maybe Bart or someone with better
knowledge about it could say more.

I didn't tried change textmode in dosemu under console, as you perhaps
not needed it.

Best regards,
Frantisek Hanzlik
