Hi! I am still working on font editor Kasmar (WIP version here:   http://
www.laaca.borec.cz/kasmar_f.zip )

And I would like to add support for format V8F which is used in FreeDOS 
installer.

This format is not complicated (although relying in BIOS definition on
target machines, especially in 14px size, could be problematic) however I 
miss one thing in this format.

There is nowhere defined for which code page is the file defined.

Of course, I know that for purpose of FD install it does not matter but for
other purposes is this a limitation.

My editor internaly converts all code page files to unicode mapping and for
this it needs to know for which code page is the font defined. Otherwise I
have to let it on user which is certainly possible but not optimal.

So I propose to add some WORD value into header with information of code 
page (like 852, 866 and so on)
