The BASIC ROM reads it from ROM. Characters in
graphic modes are written by software. But if
you move your ROM to RAM pages 0 and 1, you
can change the default pattern table and use
open "grp:" with custom fonts in any graphic
mode. Thank goodness this routine doesn't use
VRAM, because it would be even slower and would
waste more precious VRAM space.
However, it would be advisable to write a new,
faster routine, using a font stored in normal
RAM for easier font selection. A lot of people
must have coded this already.
