[comp.sys.ibm.pc] memory dump of VGA font

iony@olsen.UUCP (Ion Yadigaroglu) (01/25/90)

    Does anybody know where the VGA fonts live in memory,
    or how to find out? I need to get memory dumps of the
    graphics font and others, in any bitmap format. Info
    or actual dumps would be great!

    Thanx in advance,

    Ion

        mov     ax,1130h  
	mov	bh,font_number
        int     10h

es:[bp] points to start of bit maps in ROM or RAM.

if you are going to return it to MSC 5.1, do this...

        mov     ax,bp
        mov     dx,es
	ret
