Whilst I have a working inColor card in my collection, my Google-fu is failing me at coming up with any meaningful information on programming the text mode fonts on it. I also remember that the GB112 (aka Hercules Plus) could also do custom fonts.
Lowest target for my project is MDA, but I was thinking on H+/EGA/VGA I could make it look better using custom fonts even though it's pure text mode.
I did run across a couple sources claiming that normal hercules could do soft fonts... that's BS isn't it? I mean that was the whole point of the "plus" cards. Were there commonplace clones of the plus, and any way to detect them?
