Exactly! That's the format that you need to send it to the video card, as
well.
I didn't do that because I didn't want to deal with a "text" and a
"compressed"
version of the file in Fonter, but because of the size, I'll be moving to
that
format, and writing a txt2fnt/fnt2txt routine.

Here's a chance for me to show my ignorance: how do you redefine the
character
set in graphics mode? I know that it can be done, but it's a little bit
different
than text mode, and I can't quite figure it out.

Thanks.
