Hello,

I have a small problem.   First off let me explain a little of what I am
doing.

A friend of mine asked me to help him write a simple graphics library (yes,
I know there already are dozens, but he wanted one of his own).  So I
started working on it.   I am accessing the screen (mode 13h) using near
pointers (__djgpp_nearptr_enable()).  How would I go about accessing the
BIOS's internal 8x16 font?  Normally it is located at F000:FA6E would I
access this as FFA6E + __djgpp_conventional_base?  Or do I have to do it
some other way?

Thanks!      -Brian
