I always run it in a window. I also use TameDOS, which is great but adds
another level of complexity. In a window, IIRC, you can via the PIF or
Properties (?) set the size of the type box in pixels (e.g., 9 x 16 or
whatever).

I'm a bit unclear about where you're "at," but can you right click on the
Xy icon on the upper left of the title bar of the window and choose that
way the cursor size (you want Large)?

Sounds like you need either to set the DOS PATH statement, in AUTOEXEC.NT,
or put the fonts in the right directory (in SETTINGS.DFL, under DF OL).
Check where the fonts are by issuing:

va/nv ol
It should show you the path of BTFONTS, which is where the Speedo .SPD
files are, and those are what Xy is looking for to print from, as far as I
know.

Hope this helps.
