Has anybody any help with the following:

What I want to do:

        Dynamically  (i.e.  not at boot time)  Change the  system character
sets to my own character sets - at any time I'd  like to be able  to poke a
new character definition into the machine.

A few simple questions:
       
        1) Are the characters sets in RAM
        2) If so at what address
        3) How are the characters packed
        4) If I change the RAM character set (I assume it is in RAM)
           can I use bios calls to output the characters or what?

Any help is appreciated
