You can use the WinAPI for that.
I posted a little example many moons back.

osiris, entering "gdi32.dll" means it loads this common windows interface DLL. And because Darkbasic needs directX, you must be running windows. So every computer that can run your game can load that DLL.

But depending on what DBC version you have you can't call dll functions. I think DBCEnhanced can.

No u cannot change the print/input font. Plus they are really basic functions u dont really want to use them - create your own input scheme using inkey$ etc.
