- I've been working on setting up a different font for some DOS applications,
- using the example of the shareware program _Font Mania_ by Rexxcom. I only
- have one major obstacle which I can't quite figure out:
-
- How do you choose between using an 8xNN font versus a 9xXX font with the
- extra pixel leaving space between characters?
-
- I am using assembly-language calls to BIOS (from within a Turbo Pascal
- program) to load in the new fonts, exactly the same way that the demo uses,
- but the space is there.
-
- But I have noticed that if I run the demo program before I run my own
- switcher, the space is gone.
-
- So what BIOS calls do I need to make to switch between these two font modes?
