About 5 years back, some magazine said that on the IBM
monochrome (text) adapter, you can change the character
generator to print arbitrary fonts/bitmaps.

Since I didn't have an IBM compatible system then, I
ignored the article.

Does some one know if I can have the character generator
look at bitmaps in a specified area of memory?

Any help would be appreciated.  Keep in mind that I am
talking abt a text-only adapter.  This sort of a feature
would be great for games (I remember using a Sinclair
Spectrum where you could do this and it made games development
much easier).
