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?
