Sorry, heres a better site insteaad. They have simply small, medium, 
etc. fully ANSI compatible fonts.
My point is simply that it is initially very frustrating to have 50 line 
xdos 2 lines off the bottom of the screen.
It was not easy to work out what kind of fonts xdos can use, and which 
ones are box-drawing friendly.

sabvga on this page is the best, one size below vga and perfect for 50 
lines @ 1024.
