I just got some literature on the $299 Hercules Graphics Card Plus.
It claims 720H x 348v resolution, and has a hardware character
generator that supports up to 3072 characters (256 x 12 fonts).  The
catch is that the literature claims each character can be 8 or 9 bits
wide by 4 to 16 bits high.  The pictures show large characters, however.
Were they done in graphics mode?  I am interested in a product that
could paint characters of any reasonable (e.g. up to 256 x 256) size with
a hardware generator, the immediate application being fast TeX DVI previewing.
If the character size limitation is correct, then this is not the card 
for the job.
