Re: Dosemu practically full-screen

[Paul Lagasse pglagasse@xxxxxxxx]

It turns out that we're both right. I just checked on my netbook, where
Quantal is installed but I have yet to finish setting up Dosemu. In
Quantal, Andale Mono is installed but unavailable to Dosemu. This is an
X window issue, I think, but I'm not sure where the solution is. The
xlsfonts command below is the correct; in 12.04, unlike 12.10, I get
Andale Mono as an option. I wish I knew what changed between Precise and
Quantal...

For what it's worth, I'll send the screenshot to you separately.
