Subject: large fonts?
Precedence: bulk

Does DJGPP support different font sizes?  I have to convert a turbo C
program which uses a large font (in a low-resolution mode, which is OK)
because it takes 30 ms to draw a character using outtextxy().  This is much
too long for a visual experiment I am designing.

The important factor for me is that the characters all appear simultaneously
so I intend to change the color palette during the vertical retrace.  If the
character drawing is slow it's ok as long as I can control its color, which
apparently is impossible in turbo C (for me, anyway, since I don't have any
documentation turbo C).

any suggestions as to how to do this would be appreciated.  I prefer not to
draw the characters as graphics objects, but that seems to be my only
alternative...
