Hi! Not sure if this helps, but DISPLAY CON=(EGA,,1) should be sufficient for all your needs. For the font support, EGA is pretty much the same as VGA and display only is for loading custom fonts. If you do not plan to load a non-BIOS font, you do not even need display at all. The documentation of an older version says that VGA did set a certain number of font sizes, while EGA autodetected which font sizes exist (usually 8x8, 14 and 16 pixels).
Looking at the source, EGA meant autodetect, EGA 8 did mean one font, LCD the same, EGA 14 two fonts, VGA did mean three fonts and only CGA meant different hardware. Note that newer VGA BIOS may miss 8x14 built-in fonts, but you can load a custom DOS font instead. There also are tools doing ONLY that, using less RAM than DISPLAY.

In display-0.13b, or in DOSEMU, or in my HW, or elsewhere? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
