[comp.windows.ms] Changing DOS app window font?

Hi,

     I can't seem to be able to change the DOS-app-in-a-window font.  I've tried
changing the EGA(CGA)80(40)woa.fon to something like 8514fix.fon, which should
give better sized characters at 1024x768, but it doesn't seem to affect the
font used in the DOS app windows.  

     All it says in sysini2.txt is to specify the font in the EGA80woa.fon= 
line (and the similar lines for the other text screens).  As it is now, the 
DOS app window font is smaller than the system's normal font, and is difficult 
to read, especially since the cursor disappears below the border when on the 
last line on the window.

     Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Bryon
