Hi,
I am working on a wide screen (I think 10:9) ratio monitor, and I am haveing some trouble getting dwarf fortress up where I can see it. I will get partial of the window (most of it) but not enough to change the game. I have toyed around with the launch settings (to no avail) and looked this up :(. I was hoping someone could help me with this.
Thanks,
Kraftwerk
(P.S. I have gotten it to work twice, but not in a row :( )

Find out the size of the tiles you're using (mine are 16x16), decide how big you want DF to be in pixels (my reso is 1680x1050 so I chose something like 1674x960 - you'll want to round down to the nearest multiple of your tile size)  and then divide the resolution by the tile size (for example, I have 104 tiles horizontally). Now you have your reso and grid size, so put them in the init and all should be well. Just remember to update the grid size if you decide to fiddle with the reso some more.
