That's because the Speedos are printing fonts. The only time they
affect the screen is when a document with the appropriate embedded
UF command(s) is displayed in Xy4's WYSIWYG view (func WZ). To
change the fonts in draft view (func WG), you need a font editor
that is capable of loading an alternative screen font that's
compatible with DOSBox's virtualized VGA environment. I have no idea
if such things exist (the font editor or alternative screen fonts);
experienced DOSBoxers will have to weigh in.
