Hello,
thanx for this great Board.
I've "learned" a lot so far by reading many posts.

Now I got a problem I can't find on this board or in the web.
I hope you can help me.

I used DOSBox, D-Fend and DosShell.
I'm using Win 7 and playing SimLife.
The game starts and runs normally, but the font is too big.
It's overlapping the boxes, that's no "real" problem, but it looks awful and often you can't read the text, just guessing then 😁

I looked at the dosbox.ini, but found nothing that matches to my font-problem.
What can i do?
This is not the only game, there still others, but i like this one most.

Thanx for ya suggestions and solutions 😉
Sven

Dos or 3.1 version? Using original disks (or CD)? Have you tested in Ykhwong's build (google will find it).

Hi.
Ok, i got the game from an abandonware-site. so it is an folder. (it was an legal download, just before ya ask)

I've tested Y's build yet, but...same problem.
It'a a long time ago, but I think it's the 3.1 Version, cause there's an .exe and I can change the "compatibility mode".

thank you

Confirm that the issue is present in SimLife by installing from original disks. Your download may be altered from the original.
