I've had problems with this at times; mostly because the initgraph() couldn't
find the *.bgi files.  Tip 1: use '/'s to indicate directories.  Tip 2: check
to see that the correct font was attempted to be loaded by checking the &itype
or &imode (initgraph returns values which can be checked).  If you don't check
these, and the mode and driver weren't loaded, your program will hang.
