vDOS screen has two empty (black) spaces up and down on 4:3 monitor when is on full screen mode - the old monitor standard. vDos works exceptional on text mode 80x25. That's why 4:3 is the true standard for this emulator.
Is there any option for switching 4:3/16:9 aspect ratio or similar? Thanks.

No such option, and 4:3 (16:12) doesn’t equal 16:9.
4:3 monitors are nowadays all but a rarity. vDos certainly is no nostalgic look back at how DOS things were in the past.
Perhaps you can find a narrow monospaced TTF font that would fill a 4:3 monitor better…

... vDos certainly is no nostalgic look back at how DOS things were in the past. Hm! It is ridiculous. vDOS works with DOS programs as far as I now ;-)
You think wrong for 4:3. This is not fashion tendency. 4:3 standard is very comfortable for design diagrams - mechanical, electrical, architectural. Because, they are higher than widescreen standards. Here are some new models:
Here is my problem: Widescreen standards are uncomfortable for text writing. And yes, my monitor in my home workshop is 4:3 with rotating to 90° especially for software developer needs. Could you make this friendship gesture for your 4:3 users? If it possible ofcourse. If you say "Yes, I'll make what is possible" without to give any periods, nobody can ask you again by this question. Actually, this is diplomacy. Thank you. I think, I have not more questions. This was my last!

Those Eizo monitors have a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels.
With 80 columns x 25 rows, a 20x48 cell dimension would be required to fill the screen in full screen mode; a window without borders and title bar.
The vDos internal font is 8x16, so will be sized to 20x40, leaving space above and below the vDos full screen content. Most other monospaced fonts will even be wider. You would have to find a narrow one that comes close to the desired 20x48 dimension.

A search for "narrow monospace fonts" will produce a few possibilities that you could experiment with.

I tried with several of narrow monospace fixed-pitch fonts, OTF and TTF. It doesn't work. I doubt the problem is in the font.

This is my library for 2D pseudographics and some elements for {simple + real} 3D. In this case this is on 80x25 mode it work's fine, but you may do it something to normalize the picture even of this 4:3 screen. postimg.cc/Fd749NRCAnd this is without vDOS: postimg.cc/xqzwgsbmThere is difference. I believe, you can solve this problem.

vDos is designed to work with commonly-used DOS applications, not with special-purpose programs that are used by only one person. Also, as Jos Schaars has said often, vDos is designed to run software, not to reproduce old hardware.
You will get much better results with DOSBox-X or DOSBox Staging, which try to reproduce old hardware. Please use those programs instead of vDos.

Actually, the hardware standard is same. This is on UEFI 64 machine from 2018, but with PC-BIOS support. The hardware is not old. It is just old text mode 80x25. Off course I use my homemade {text mode gap sealant} function. 80x25->40x25->40x21->80x21->and 80x25 again; for realizing of good picture without gaps between the pseudographics pixels.

Again, vDos will never - repeat, never - be changed to fit the requirements of your homemade software. Please visit the DOSBox-X or DOSBox Staging forums if you want to discuss this further.
