-Now, load the font by providing it with the #--font# option to the vga driver. I suggest only the 8x13 and the 9x15 fonts, but feel free to try others, too. Note that the VGA text mode can not really display 9 pixel wide characters. But as most characters have the ninth column empty, and the VGA text mode can display an empty column between two adjacant character cells, this trick allows us to display most of the 9x15 font correctly. So you won't notice a difference until you come to very broad characters or special symbols, where you will see that the last column is cut off. (BTW, I wrote the dynafont code carefully to still support horizontal line graphic characters properly in 9 pixel wide fonts. This is done by exploiting some special modes in the VGA hardware. This is why in 512 (256) glyph mode and 9 pixel wide fonts, you are limited to 448 (224) normal characters: 64 (32) slots are reserved for the horizontal line graphic characters so they are drawn continuously.)
