	Hi, i am working at a program wat reads fonts and prints them
	in a different format (for an ebeam). I made something that
	almost works with the normal gdos fonts.

	But, i find an displacement in the offset table and in the 
	bits. The algoritme that i use looks like this:

	kar = kar - first_ade	/* First entry in the offset table */
	off = *(off_base + kar)	/* The real offset in bits from the
				   beginning of the scanline */
	p = base + off		/* p points to the first byte in the
				   scanline */

	You only have to add an offset for the specific bit in the x
	and y direction, but that works. I only can't seem to find
	the start of the specified character.

	Does someone has a hint, or has an algoritme ?
	btw. are there copyrights on these fonts, they where distributed
	together with gemini.

	Thanks.
