XPmaxFonts()
Report how many fonts can be loaded at once
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function: XPmaxFonts()
This function returns how many fonts can be
loaded into the EGA/VGA at once. It will become
clear later why this can be handy at some
times. When MaxFonts returns 0, it means that
there's no EGA/VGA installed, otherwise it
returns a number between 1 and 4 (dependant on
how many memory is located on the EGA/VGA card)
which indicates how many fonts can be loaded at
some time. Loading 1 font may generally be
enough, but extra fonts may prove useful when
one wishes to display a set of 512 characters,
and switch quickly for instance between
underline, Italic and normal font.
Syntax: XPmaxFonts()
Arguments: None.
Returns: A numeric value, between 0 and 4.
Usage: * - Suppose one needs at least 2 Fonts..
if XPmaxFonts() < 3
Msg('Go buy some EGA/VGA Memory!')
quit
endif
