Well that's font reloading 😉
XP's command shell doesn't support that in windowed mode, so start a
console window, make that fullscreen and start your program again.

i got your point i have been using the program in that way ... what i did actually was i created an exe to load a load a blue screen which says press alt+enter and enter again to run the program in full screen mode but that doesnt solve the problem i want it to work it like any other program u know... and if anyone can come up with a solution i am willing to pay also
thanks

You could think that newdos.yginfo.net's file was arabi.com, and it have been deleted. Please send yourself the file! You noticed "arabi.com" can be ran in DOSBox. Nafitha runs with DOSBox. You did highlighted arabic windows 98 character set. There is no need to download Nafitha. Microsoft Sam speaks it three hundred eighty six sky instead of three eight six sky. Send you the zip for Nafitha.

C'mon mods, delete this bot. If it's not a bot then it's certainly an alien, and we don't want to talk to silly aliens, do we?

heh I wish. Everytime I point it out other mods/admins try to convince me that it's an actual person.......

It's gotten to the point where I've remembered the name "gmailtae" and I pretty much avoid those threads, otherwise if I read the post my brain is likely to explode.

What would be cool is an ignore function for these forums so that posts don't show up.

Forum already has an ignore function. It works this way:

Don't post in threads, and it will quickly disappear.

Can someone find this file in the Wayback Machine. No Arabic generation file.
