I have a couple of 16-bit DOS programs that I still occasionally use. For those I keep a virtual XP going on VBox. Is there any way that I can continue to use them on Linux and ditch XP? One of them calls a Windows program to permit proportionaly spaced typefaces.

DOSBox? Though that's not going to help with the case of "... calls some Windows program". -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: DDAB 23FB 19FA 7D85 1CC1 E067 6D65 70E5 4CE7 2860

Sans and Serif fonts. Perhaps you could give more info in your question. You can start with the WINE article in Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29 Paul
