I'm running DosBox 7.4 under Windows 7 and some semi-graphic characters like the ones used to draw windows frames in text mode doesn't look right. I guess DosBox is getting some font mapping from Windows? Anyway I've read FAQ and Wiki and could not find a solution to my problem: how can I fix fonts used by DosBox? Wrong characters makes some tools I use almost completely useless because the screen is hard to read. Thanks for you help in advance.

Thank you! That did the trick: changing keyboardlayout in dos section in dosconf option files from auto to none:

keyboardlayout=none
