I have a patch to install fonts for CP850 8x14, the original is from the debian project <http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/xfonts-terminus-dos> so it is GPL and ok for Dosemu First question: in the etc/dosemu.alias, all lines look like this: vga10x20-ua -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp1125 but the one I generated has different names: vga8x14-cp850 -xos4-Terminus-Bold-R-Normal--14-140-72-72-C-80-IBM-CP850 Should I try to convert it? These are the names in the original Debian/Terminus project...
This is probably fine, dosemu-vga and xos4-Terminus don't matter. The rest is just about a case difference and about the font size. But I'd like to ask: 1. Why an 8x14 font? It seems a bit small, even smaller than the standard 8x16. Is there also a problem with using bitmap fonts and the FreeDOS mode/display/chcp technique? 2. It may be better to use unicode. The present SVN code supports unicode fonts, you can even use the standard $_X_font="-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1" it's small but gives you all the characters you need. Have a look at http://www.inp.nsk.su/~bolkhov/files/fonts/univga/ as well.
