TSRFONT DRIVER
Some DOS application programs bypass the BIOS and directly draw characters to the
screen. Programs that directly draw characters using the 8x14 font from the BIOS
appear to be writing incorrect data to the screen. Typically this can occur in programs
that offer a selection to use a graphics 25 or 34 line display mode. Other programs may
appear to cut off the descenders of characters like "y" and "j".
Running the TSRFONT driver makes a full 8x14 size character set available to these
programs, and should correct the type of display errors discussed above.
To run the TSRFONT driver, type:
TSRFONT [Enter]
If you want to run TSRFONT automatically when you turn on your computer, add it to
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
