> should be possible to change the size of the fonts to use high resolutions.

It can already - open the Options|Display_Settings dialogue box and select the [Global] tab. In there you will see two buttons labelled [System Font] and [Editor Font]. Change the system font to "GV System" bold, 24pt and change the editor font to use "BiWidth" medium, 24pt. These two fonts and the larger bitmaps that will kick-in make GVFM usable in 1600x1200 (and higher?) resolutions. If these fonts are too big, then try using 18pt bold fonts instead.

You can also change the fonts used by the currently focused browser window in the [Browser] tab sheet of the same dialogue box, or by right-clicking a browser's file or folder pane and set its font individually.

Have you tried running FM.EXE (rather than GVFM.EXE) under DOSEMU? (Run MAKE-FM.BAT to create FM.EXE - see GVFM's readme.txt). FM.EXE will use HDPMI16/DPMILD16/RTM.DLL. (HDPMI16.EXE will only be used if DOSEMU doesn't provide it's own DPMI server).

> PD: Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the report, and yes I will.
