What font does DOSbox use? I want to use it in a proggy but I don't have it\can't find it. I want it cause of its old DOSy feel.

It's not a separate TrueType font, but binary data embedded in the DOSBox executable to match the font layout of the VGA BIOS. You'd probably be better of with a real TrueType font, such as DOSLike.

BTW, if you actually need the binary font data, check out int10_memory.cpp in the src/ints subfolder of the DOSBox source tree. (Ah, wd beat me to it).

If you don't need TrueFont:
have a look at src/ints/int10_memory.cpp of the dosbox sources.
And search for the freedos CPI files, they contain fonts
for many language codes.
