DOS fonts loaded with Fontedit can be overridden by programs that reset or load their own fonts. A program called M10 loads a persistent screen driver that protects your font. That takes care of fullscreen, but one of my old programs used a proprietary font set, making the DOS box useless. Luckily XP still uses some fon files. I redrew one of them (I think it was ega40woa.fon) and made it large enough for a 1366×768 screen while I was at it..

What Ms taketh away, DOSBox restoreth. If you’re peaved at the loss of a fullscreen DOS prompt, try DOSBox. Or forget fullscreen. DOS fonts work in DOSBox even in windowed mode.

Computer Labs were never the same at UNI after I watched you perform this once. There’s nothing better than watching a newb try to access the ISCA BBS (See U of Iowa’s WEEG server circa 1992) and get the F3 (reversed fonts) and call the lab monitor over. *laughs*

I attempted to load them at the library, but that attempt ended rather badly. I’m never taking back the book I checked out for my Humanities class because of how the staff treated me. :(

Excellent prog Chris !

I needed something for a menu prog i’m writing. Your font editor is ideal for the full sized Defender arcade game i’ve now got running by computer…only trouble was, i had to use a PC monitor and mount it in the cabinet upside down.

How to do an upside down font for the menu ? i came here :)

Enjoy this trick while you can. Beginning with Vista (and Longhorn Server), Microsoft has permanently removed access to full screen mode for the command window.

(Sigh)
