For a program I need to write, I need a 256 character set 8x14 bitmap. I'm certain that such a thing exists somewhere (or I sure hope it does, since I don't feel like making it up myself using this screen as a guide!), so if someone could email me such a beast, I would really appreciate it. I prefer the character set to be the standard IBM PC set (extended characters), but printable ASCII would do, and preferably as array's in C, but I'll take what I can get.

I got the following program from the PC Magazine dialin service.
It reads the font from the ROM and prints it out in DB (define
byte) ASM statements. In the enclosed version, it takes the EGA
9x14 font. There was a small change you make to use the 8x14 font.
Perhaps when you disassemble the program, you can figure it out.
I can't remember now. Look for memory references. Anyway, this
should give you a start.
