Hello, I have a related question.
A friend of mine bought a Commodore lap-top (286, Phoenix BIOS, VGA screen)
This thing has something against software fonts.
Whenever I load a font, the screen shrinks leaving an unused area at
the bottom.
However, if i then run the norton commander, the screen goes back to
normal size but the font size remains the same (thus i get more lines
on the screen than i intended).
We think the problem is that there are 480 lines on the screen while a
"normal" VGA has only 400 in text modes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since my friend cannot use any
hebrew fonts on the laptop which reduces it to a paperweight status.
Thanx in advance,
Alex.
