I do the following (which gives you up to 50 lines on a screen,
actually):

  ...
  Handle=graf_handle(&dummy,&dummy,&dummy,&dummy);
  for( i=0; i<10; i++)
    workIn[i]=1;
  workIn[10]=2;
  v_opnvwk(workIn, &Handle, workOut);
#define SMALLCHR	(6)
  vst_height( Handle, SMALLCHR, &CellW, &CellH, &CharW, &CharH );
  ...

This is only part of the code needed but the last call is the one
that tells the system to use the small char (6x6) font.
