NOTE |
| An 8 x 14 font for the EGA modes can be provided with a DOS TSR |
|
| (terminate and stay resident) program. If the TSR has not been loaded when |
|
| the mode is set, the 8 x 16 font is used with the two bottom rows deleted. This |
|
| causes truncation of characters with descenders, but does not restrict |
|
| program operation. The TSR should be used for absolute compatibility with |
|
| DOS applications that use the 8 x 14 font. |
