Hi.

Could anyone help me out with this:

I'm trying to load an EGA/VGA text font using Int 0x10/AX=0x1110.
However, this call requires a pointer to the font data in ES:BP.  The
int86() fn. docs does not list this BIOS fn. as "supported", and I don't
know how to do this with __dpmi_int() (not sure whether this is possible
-- is it?).  What do I do now ?

Will it be better/faster to write to the VRAM directly ?

TIA,
