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.
