Hey, now that I notice, I'll have to review in the documentation

Sorry, I don't comprehend. You can prepare up to a total of 12
concurrent codepages, so you could easily switch between them
yes, but that second parameter is HARDWARE codepages, or which is the
current codepage that the codepage is managing, so it should be just
one, am I wrong?
without having to prepare the desired target codepage all the
time. Of course, this would require lot's of memory for the
font buffers, that's why some issues of DISPLAY.SYS (of
PC DOS 7/2000, for example) store the currently unused fonts
in XMS memory. Some earlier issues of MS-DOS/PC DOS DISPLAY.SYS
seem to have had a facility to store them in the HMA, but I'm
not completely sure about that. I have never observed this to
happen. The DR-DOS DISPLAY.SYS does not currently support
storing the fonts in the HMA or XMS, unfortunately.
This is also interesting, a todo for the wishlist.
