I'm not sure what kind of hardware you're using, but if you don't have
something like a HGC+, EGA, or VGA, which have definable text mode
fonts, I think you're out of luck.  You can however, do this if you are
in graphics mode (but only to ASCII characters 128..255) and using the
BIOS or DOS routines to put characters on the display.
