Another Memory Problem

I've run many games using Dos Box before, but I've seemingly run into a problem. I try to run a game (StoneKeep) and I get this error message:

OUT OF MEMORY allocating: ccfontbuf (193797120 bytes)

I've tried upping the EMS and XMS and I've tried using LoadFix with a few different numbers, and just can't seem to figure it out. I've also checked out the site's compatibility forum and no one else seems to get this problem. I have plenty of free resources (ram, cpu usage) when this happens too... Is this a conventional memory problem? I apologize for any noob questions 😁

Processor = Athlon XP 1600+
RAM = 512mb
Graphics = Radeon 9550se
OS = Win2k

Did you searched the forum? There are some Stonekeep threads already.

Yes, I've searched for about 2 hours now (lol). I've found similiar problems people have had, but none yet that have had my exact problem. And none of the things they wrote worked either, unless I'm doing something wrong. Example- using win95, other_os, etc

Try different dosbox versions (maybe some CVS build, see the
development forum), change the cpu core (dosbox.conf) etc.

Looks like it's trying to allocate 200MB of RAM. This is unheard of in a DOS program - is it possible that your copy of the game is corrupt?
