1. 8x8 graphic characters
Does anyone know how to set the video mode so that when 8x8 fonts are
displayed, they appear without any gap between them? Specifically, I'm
trying to display a redefined character set, but I'm getting gaps between my
characters.
DOS fonts are typically 'hard wired' so certain graphic characters overscan
the 9th column, connecting them to the adjacent font. But I've seen
applications (for example, ScreamTracker and ImpulseTracker) that manage to
display the characters contingiously, without a gap. I suspect that you have
to tweak the VGA mode, but I can't seem to find any information on how to do
this.
Thanks!

Never mind, it turns out to be a tweak to the VGA registers.
Thanks anyway!

Hi David,
as far as I remember, jiri's rfont.e has a mode which reads the 8x8
charset from the video ROM. Then you may manipulate his program to
extract what you want.
Have a nice day, Rolf

David, I think it's a tweak to the VGA registers... i'll check on this and
try to find some details for you.
