[net.micro.pc] Get/Set character fonts

    Can anyone tell me what the status of the BIOS call INT 10H or 52H
AH=16 (Get and Set Character Fonts). What I mean is which machines support it?
I know the TANDY 2000 under MS-DOS 2.11 does, but does the AT support it? And
is it intended to be included in MS-DOS in future releases or is it just a
case of making use of the 2000's hardware?

   I am curious as to the portability of an as yet unwritten APL interpreter
using these BIOS services on various MS-DOS machines.

   Any help would be appreciated.

   Thanks,
