All of this has been covered at length in many posts, which you can read
using the XySearch engine http://xywrite.org. The
full screen fonts can be improved only slightly using Ultravision, an old
DOS utility, not readily available. A handful of users here are looking for
a way to improve the VDM (DosBox) in XP. If a solution presents itself, we
will report it ASAP.
