<<In win95, & I believe other OSs, the font chosen for display purposes for a DOS box can easily be chosen, either on the properties sheet, or a button on the window So you can choose a teeny 5x7 pixels or huge 16x18 pixels. >> But that is only for programs that use DOS services to write their text. There were many early word processors for DOS for example that did their own font definitions and output. it is programs like this that cause trouble (note that the original message mentioned the Hercules, and there were indeed a number of programs which used fonts specifically designed for the Hercules card). These are programs that as far as the OS is concerned are running in graphics mode. The specificatoin of fonts for a DOS window affects only fonts displayed in text mode.
