Hi there.

Is there any way to get DosBox to use a textmode display using characters of 8x14 resolution (as opposed to the 8x16 it normally uses)?

I'm just kinda hoping I might be able to play Megazeux on my XP machine, without messed up graphics. Megazeux expects 8x14 for it's custom characters, and so it doesn't really look right with 8x16...

Any ideas, or am I stuck?

I have the same problem. Please email me at robby.peterson [AT] gmail.com if you get it working. I'll post here if I can figure something out.

Best,
Robert

you can use any DOS tool to change font size. FreeDOS' mode.com should work, as do third-party freeware utilities (tm.exe for example)
