DEFAULT CHARACTER FONT
The default character font loaded by the BIOS into the
System RAM (for UK use) is illustrated on the following
page.
This is the ASCII character set, SINTL 01 which is
allocated 8 Kbytes of
System memory from address location
0800H to 27FFH. Each of the 256 characters is stored in an
area of memory defined as a font cell, which consists of 32
contiguous bytes
in memory, organised as 16 consecu ti ve
16-bit words. For
further details of the concept of the font
cell
and details of the method of displaying characters on
the screen, refer to the Screen Driver and CRT Control
chapters.
Note:
The Screen Driver interprets the first 32 ASCII codes
of
the character set (OOH to IFHl, as control codes, unless
the escape sequence ESC 8 is sent to the driver.
