MS-DOS shortcut not using assigned font
We have a desktop shortcut assigned to an old MS-DOS program (Computer
Associates AccPac Plus). The shortcut, which acts as an old PIF file, allows the user to select the font and size to be used by the application in the DOS window while it is executing in Windows Vista. Unfortunately, the changes to the font are NOT reflected in the DOS window while the program is running. Any suggestions why the font may not be changing?

I'll let someone else address this problem, but as an aside have you tried running MS-DOS in a virtual machine? That might work better for you. I like VMware, but there is also Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007, DOSBox, and Sun's new virtual software Virtual Box. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
