Fixed width font

Post by nedbrek »

Hello all!

I should be working on ISRs, the IDT, IOAPIC, etc...

Instead, I decided I want to print "Hello world" from my 64 bit SVGA environment! :)

I looked through the Wiki, but we seem to be very short on fixed width stuff.

I also searched the forum and didn't find much.

Google did find a very interesting thing.

I am going to write some code to make sure it all works out, but I would like to post something to the Wiki...

Any ideas where it belongs (both the reference and pointers about parsing it and using it).

Thanks!

For draft documents that you're unsure of the proper namespace for, just throw them in your user space. They can always be moved to a proper location later.

It does look like most code for fixed-width fonts is either incomplete, or directly ripped from some guy's OS.
Give a man Linux, you feed the nearest optician ( Been staring at the PC too long again? ).
Give a man OS X, you feed the nearest NVidia outlet ( I need more GPU power!! )
Give a man Windows, you feed the entire Tylenol company ( Self explanatory :D )
