vga_gettextfont(3)	      Svgalib User Manual	    vga_gettextfont(3)

NAME
       vga_gettextfont, vga_puttextfont - get/set the font used in text mode

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_gettextfont(void *font);
       void vga_puttextfont(void *font);

DESCRIPTION
       The  functions  gives access to the buffer where svgalib saves the font
       used  by	 the  kernel.	 This	is   used   by	 the   restorefont(1),
       savetextmode(1),	 and  textmode(1)  utilities  to  restore  a  possibly
       screwed console font.

       The font buffer occupies 8192 bytes. However, versions 1.2.13 and later
       use  a  larger  buffer internally and the size of the buffers passed to
       vga_gettextfont(3)   and	  vga_puttextfont(3)   can   be	   set	  with
       vga_ext_set(3).

       The  functions  give access to the internal buffers of svgalib, not the
       font tables of the VGA card. This means that  both  functions  must  be
       called  in  graphics mode and a newly set font takes effect only at the
       next vga_setmode(TEXT) call.

       the original documentation is unknown.

       It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm

       Occasionally  this  might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the
