I *need* to find the ROM address of a sparcstation-1gx's system font table. I have an assignment which requires me to use this font to generate characters on a pixel-by-pixel basis. I realize that this is very slow, but it does teach raw character generation concepts (btw. the assignment was written for students using pc's, but I'm using a Sparcstation). If someone (from sun?) could send me the info which I will need to access this font, I would be eternally grateful.

If you're idea of the "system font" is just the font you see when you're not running any kind of windowing software, it's just a Pixrect font. See the Pixrect reference manual (for 3/60 manuals, it's bundled with SunCore and SunCGI).
