- Here is one that i did (in three parts). It lets you load and use
- a Gdos font with Bconout()/Putchar etc. The Gdos font has to be mono-spaced
- and 8 wide. It can be any height. A sample Gdos font is included.
- BTW - in case anyone is interested, i wrote a little vfont (see man 5 vfont)
- to Gdos font converter (handles fixed width fonts only at present time), and
- will be glad to mail it to anyone interested. Using this, and another
- PD Mac utility that goes Mac->vfont, you can get all the nice PD Mac
- fonts in Gdos format. It handles Sun's fixed width fonts too.
