Ralf Brown's interrupt list
  http://www.ctyme.com/rbrown.htm

Int vectors 43H and 1FH contain the glyphs for the low 128 and high
128 characters of the active codepage.
  http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-6076.htm <-- 43 (ASCII)
  http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-2412.htm <-- 1f (depends on codepage)

Everything you always wanted to know about VGA BIOS* can be found at
the entry for Int 10:
  http://www.ctyme.com/intr/int-10.htm
For instance, this interrupt uploads a font into the VGA:
