Running DOSBox in text mode on my high-resolution monitor, it is very small. Is it possible to choose a larger font so that it is bigger? I would rather have higher quality characters than simply double all the pixels.

If you plan to use a DOS application, not a game, you could have a look at vDos: www.vdos.info. vDos uses a scalable TTF font and its window can be sized. The better your monitors resolution, the nicer the text will look…

Thanks, JosSchaars, I'll check out vDos; it sounds perfect. Should I infer that DOSBox won't let me use a larger font?
BTW the application I have in mind is WordPerfect 5.1.
