This is from Ralph Brown's interrupt list:
INT 1F - SYSTEM DATA - 8x8 GRAPHICS FONT
Desc: this vector points at 1024 bytes of graphics data, 8 bytes for
each
character 80h-FFh
Note: graphics data for characters 00h-7Fh stored at F000h:FA6Eh in 100%
compatible BIOSes
SeeAlso: INT 10/AX=5000h,INT 43
GRAFTABL is a DOS program which initializes this table (maybe it's not
necessary for VGA, but it was for CGA, at least). If it (vector
0:7ch) points to a correct table, all the BIOS functions should work
correctly with these. DOSEMU on the console with $_graphics=(1) gives a
real BIOS anyway.
