"Real" text in xdosemu

[Jan Willem Stumpel]

I have version 1.3, and its xdosemu has a resizable window both
for graphics and text, which is very nice. But -- this also means
that copying from the xdosemu window and pasting into other Linux
windows does not work anymore.

I apologize to all if this is an old FAQ (it may very well be) but
is there a way to enable copying text from the xdosemu window like
it used to be? (I don't mind if this means giving up the resize
feature for text screens).

Regards, Jan

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.

Joe Henley

I have never been able to copy/paste from a xdosemu window. How do you
do that?

It is strange .. copying and pasting to and from xdosemu (text
programs only, of course) *does* works fine in 1.3. And it works
irrespective of the font used, and whether the text window is
resizable or not!

I only *thought* it did not work, because I could not see the
selected text highlighted in the program I tried it with.

But even if you cannot see the selection highlighted, it is copied
into the buffer, as you can see by pasting it into another program
running in a Linux xterm.

Why selections are highlighted in some programs and not in others,
I have no idea. Even within the same program there are
differences. For instance in Turbo C, selections are highlighted
in the main edit screen, but not in the help screens. But
selections can be taken from both of them.

I had problems myself with KDE 3.2.3: after you selected by dragging the
mouse it would be cleared as soon as I released the mouse button. That's
fixed now and committed to the CVS. The fix for 1.2.2 is below in case
anyone is interested.

True, I'll have a look at that later.
