I've tried a couple of text based games under DOSBox, but they're unplayable because of the text size. Compared with running the games in real DOS, the text in DOSBox is stretched. Text is out of proportion and some is lost off the bottom of the screen.

How can I change the font size so that these text based games are displayed as they are in real DOS?

have you tried editing dosbox.conf:
machine=hercules
or
machine=cga

With either of those options the game didn't run at all.
