Graphics themselves are no problem, but I need a font. Is there any way to get the font out of the ROM on the card? My documentation on it is pretty sketchy. Ciarcia, in the January Byte says something about the card taking characters from the ROM and dumping them into the display buffer, but it sounds like he's talking thru his hat. Is there any source for fonts (preferably free)? I really hate bitmapping and typing the damn things in. Thanks in advance, David L. Smith {ucbvax, ihnp4}!sdcsvax!sdcc18!ee161aba UC Sandy Eggo
