You copy the font to plane 2 of the video card memory (mapped at A0000h)
and set the font offset to 0 (or where ever you've stored the font in
video memory).  VGA cards work the pretty much same way so it's not
too hard to find documentation on the WWW on how to do this.  Use Ralf
Brown's PORTS.LIST to figure out what applies to both EGA and VGA and
what only applies to VGA.
