I would like to print text using the built-in 6x6 font (and eventually
using a home-made font). Do I have to carry around "all" the GEM
baggage, or is there some "simple" Bios call to switch fonts?
I.e. what I want to do is
struct font_info {
?* lots of stuff, properly initialized */
} myfont;
magic(&myfont); /* Tell TOS to use my font */
printf("Hello world\n");
magic(&systemfont); /* Tell TOS to use normal font */
Extended as necessary.
Has anyone solved this problem?
Thanks for your help.
