Re: [Staffslug] Could you change the fonts on Bios via the video card?

Meeku, When you see the text output of a BIOS, your in what is called text mode. The styling of the characters in text mode is done by your graphics chip not by the BIOS software as they're the same text modes used by anything else using text modes like Unix and DOS. Each graphics card manufacturer styles the characters slightly differently, just like Teletext characters look slightly differently depending on the TV. You'd have to literally reprogram how your characters are styled (as in per pixel) for anything using that particular text mode in the graphics chip itself... which unless you were the manufacturer with a full knowledge of how that chip was programmed, is likely impossible. However! Many BIOS's do support customisable graphics that can appear on top of the BIOS text which you can create and flash yourself using the motherboard provided tools. You can use this to display your own information in whatever font you like. Steven
