  I have a Gnu C++ program that writes graphics by writing to the graphics
screen (0xa0000 etseq) directly by _farpokeb() and _farpeekb() and suchlike.
It is useful. Please:-
  (1) Has anyone out there got the source form of a function set (NOT calling
any of the Windows internal routines!) which can convert Windows font files
(TrueType or otherwise) into bit patterns in a char or short matrix such as
`short SCREEN[high][wide];'?, so I can use Windows fonts in DOS graphics.
  (2) Does anyone out there know the full complete details of the internal
layout of Windows font files (TrueType or otherwise), so I can write such a
Gnu C++ function set myself?
