I have the same problem, along with the lower contrast.
Here's what I do, using the GNOME descktop manager:
(1) Start a text window
(2) $ xterm -pc -fg white -bg black -geometry 80x25
(3) When the window opens, in the text area...
CTRL-RightMouseButton->Font->HUGE
You may prefer to switch the bg/fg colors, but anyway this gives a
nice large font with intense contrasty colors.

Mike are you using dosemu 1.2.2?
1.3.2.0
The behavior has changed.
I used to use the same method before changing to 1.3.3 with either the
HUGE font or selecting a font in .dosemurc.
Yes, I select the HUGE font.
The latest version 1.3.3 does not take on the geometry and font from the
xterm - it sets up it's own window.
Hmm. Are you using dosemu or are you using xdosemu? I don't use
xdosemu, since its behavior is as you describe. But if I start
an xterm -pc -geometry 80x25 & and then set the font to HUGE
before starting dosemu, it works for me.
The 80x25 seems to be a default - don't know it it can be changed or not
but 80x25 works well for me. The font selected in .dosemurc determines
the actual window size.
I don't have a .dosemurc anywhere in my $HOME tree.
I'm currently using the biggest font I can find:
$_X_font = "vga12x30" # The biggest 11" wide x 8.5"high on 19"
1280x1024 screen.
Well, if it works for you, then I guess you are ok. But I find that
starting my own xterm, setting font size, and then using dosemu
works for me. I don't use xdosemu for the reasons you give.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
