I'd like to find some DOS program that would allow to view a text file in a graphic mode with some funny sci-fi looking font, like Doom font or something similar. Any ideas anyone?

Word Perfect 6.x for Dos is the only one I know on DOS. Don't confuse it whit the 5 and older whit the blue screen. Version 6 had a WYSIWYG interface in Dos.

Word for DOS could also use graphics mode. I don't have experience with Word Perfect so I don't know if it has better support for raw text files. I also don't know about custom fonts, I suppose it is limited to the fonts it comes with.

WYSIWYG for Dos...sure. Small, fast => Context4 !

Company is deleted, don't know who has the rights.
Don't know where to download it.
