NAME
gl_font8x8 - a packed 8x8 pixel font
SYNOPSIS
#include <vgagl.h>
extern unsigned char *gl_font8x8;
DESCRIPTION
gl_font8x8 contains a packed pixel font with 8x8 pixels
per character which you can use in your vgagl programs.
Before you can use it, you might need to expand it with
gl_expandfont(3), though.
It is possible to use non expanded fonts (but it is
slower) when the FONT_COMPRESSED gl_setwritemode(3) flag
is set.
