   btw: RBIL reports:   
      
   INT 10 - VIDEO - TEXT-MODE CHARGEN - LOAD USER-SPECIFIED PATTERNS (PS,EGA,VGA)   
   AX = 1110h   
   ES:BP -> user table   
   CX = count of patterns to store   
   DX = character offset into map 2 block   
   BL = block to load in map 2   
   BH = number of bytes per character pattern   
   Return: nothing   
      
   I still use that for my boot-font 16*8 setting with:   
   cx=0x0100  dx=0  bh=0x10  bl=0   
      
   Once your 16*16 (8kB) font is ready you may try other values   
   but I remember that it was somehow limited to bh*8.
