if you occasionally interesting - i may look for dos font editors. one of them i posted there - it's "not handy" - has russian interface, will look ugly on default codepage, but it is possible to find there "F#" buttons at the screen. unlike other it can scan memory for possible fonts. i had couple another seems with english interface, but they were just editors - i've been playing with them long time ago.

Hello,
good program but why you don't use BIOS function to find fonts?

hello mikegonta,
I think you better take a close look to the 1130h subfunction of int 10h, since it gives much more information than simple memory scanning.

Talking about VIDEO - GET FONT INFORMATION (EGA, MCGA, VGA)
Code:
-a
0D18:0100 mov ax, 1130
0D18:0103 mov bh, 2
0D18:0105 int10
0D18:0107 int3
0D18:0108
-g

AX=1130  BX=0200  CX=0010  DX=0018  SP=FFEE  BP=DF42  SI=0000  DI=0000
DS=0D18  ES=C000  SS=0D18  CS=0D18  IP=0107   NV UP EI PL NZ NA PO NC
0D18:0107 CC            INT     3
-a 103
0D18:0103 mov bh, 6
0D18:0105
-rip
IP 0107
:100
-g

AX=1130  BX=0600  CX=0010  DX=0018  SP=FFEE  BP=DF42  SI=0000  DI=0000
DS=0D18  ES=C000  SS=0D18  CS=0D18  IP=0107   NV UP EI PL NZ NA PO NC
0D18:0107 CC            INT     3
-    

(Return is ES:BP)
What am I doing wrong? I'm requesting the 8x14 font set but the pointer is the same for the 8x16 font set Confused

PS: Other values seems to work, but specifically the 8x14 returns me the 8x16 pointer instead...
Here proof that the pointer is the 8x16 one:
Code:
; TODO: Allow the user to change the zoom factor in runtime (the code is somewhat ready for that)
; TODO: After implementing the TODO above, draw the character on the center of the screen
ESQ   = 27
COLOR = 9;12;9
ZOOM  = 12

org $100

      mov     ax, $13
      int     $10

begin:
      xor     ax, ax
      int     $16

      cmp     al, ESQ
      je      exit

      xor     ah, ah
      mov     cl, 4
      shl     ax, cl
      push    ax

      mov     ax, $1130
      mov     bh, 6
      int     $10

      pop     di
      lea     si, [bp + di + 1]
      xor     di, di
      push    es
      pop     ds
      mov     ax, $A000
      mov     es, ax
      mov     bl, 16 ; 16 rows
      mov     ch, ZOOM
      mov     cl, ZOOM
      mov     bp, -ZOOM*8

; SI = font pointer
; DI = screen pointer
; BL = rows counter
; BH = columns counter
; CH = row zoom counter
; DH = column zoom counter
; CL = zoom factor

paint:
      dec     si

outerLoop:
      lodsb
      mov     dl, al
      mov     bh, 8  ; 8 columns

innerLoop:
      mov     dh, ZOOM
      shl     dl, 1
      sbb     al, al
      and     al, COLOR

putPixel:
      stosb
      dec     dh
      jnz     putPixel

      dec     bh
      jnz     innerLoop

      lea     di, [di+320+bp]

      dec     ch
      jnz     paint

      mov     ch, ZOOM
      dec     bl
      jnz     outerLoop

      jmp     begin

exit:
      mov     ax, 3
      int     $10

      int     $20

Not all video BIOS have the 8x14 EGA font so the BIOS returns the 8x16 VGA font instead

Oh, I see. What a pity it doesn't return an error code instead...

Thanks for the info

What will you do with these fonts once you have collected them?
