OK, I've tried to RTFM and I still can't find it.

How can I set the size of the xdosemu window at opening? I know I can "stretch" it once it's open, but I'd like to specify its size on opening. Thanks for any help.

Kevin,

Yes, you are mostly right. (I find that) if you specify a font in the dosemu.conf file, it will open the window appropriately sized for that font. If you leave the font specification blank, it opens in a smaller window which you can then resize using the cursor.

The largest font I could find, vga11x19, is abit too small for my needs.
So I'm opting to leave the font spec blank and resize the window. But
it would be even better if I could specify the window size I desire from the opening.

Any thoughts on how to do that?

Don't know if this is what you had in mind but if I remember correctly xdosemu sets its initial size based on the size of the font you are using. Hope this works for you and I would appreciate you letting me know if I am wrong. Best of luck.

Try one of these fonts:

I'm unable to resize xdosemu window after I launched it. How can you do this?

Thanks,

Luca,

Remove the font size specification in dosemu.conf; ie., so that it reads: $_X_font = ""
