I need to be able to display a large character (one of the standard ASCII
set) in the middle of a VGA display.

This does not sound like it should be too difficult, but up to now, I have
not been able to find a way to do it, without having to define all of the
character set myself.

I was hoping to be able to use TurboPascal6.0, but the font support is only
vector, so while I can draw big characters, they are not solid - which I
require for my application.

I have already grepped through the simtel archive, and cannot find anything
like this.


Please reply, and I will summarize if there is enough of a response.


Thanks in advance,
Phil.
