- First of all, you need a GDOS in your system, otherwise it is very
- dangerous to call vst_load_fonts, so use vq_gdos to check the presence.
- The call has to be for every workstation (virutal or physical) for that
- you want to use those fonts, but the fonts will be loaded only once to
- save memory (at least I think so).
- The maximum number of virtual workstations is depneding of the VDI you
- use, I know that NVDI V2.11 allows up to 128 virtual workstations, but
- I dont know how many the original VDI allows.
