Hi,

I use dosBox with Ubuntu.

In window mode, the défault font size is too small for me, because my screen resolution is 1440x900.
When I setup dosbox.conf : fullscreen=true, it works, but the display is fuzzy.
Is it possible to setup a window mode, but with a different font size or windows size?

I have try to setup "windowresolution" to another value than "original" (i.e. 800x600) but it seems not working.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, windowresolution works fine when I setup output=opengl instead of output=surface

But, now, with a largest window, the display is fuzzy.

I suppose the cause is dosBox use a bitmap font ?...

How to set up a different font (i.e. courrier new, vectorial) instead of the default dosBox Font?

Thanks.

DOSBox outputs pixels, not characters like a "normal" terminal window. You could change fonts inside the emulation, though i'm not sure how this works. Tools like WBAT for example seem to use some kind of custom font.

You won't get bigger fonts by replacing the font map.

One more thing to try
scaler=normal2x forced

1+1=10
