INT 1Fh (31) Video graphics Character Extensions
When operating in the graphics modes of the CGA Monitor Adaptor
the read/write character interface will form the character from
the ASCII code point, using a set of dot patterns. The dot patterns
for the first 128 code points are contained in ROM. To access the
second 128 code points, this vector must be established to point
at a table of up to 1 K bytes, where each code point is represented
by eight bytes of graphic information. At Power-on, this vector is
initialized to 0000:0., and is is the responsibility of the user to
change this vector if if the additional code points are required.
