   I used this api in my ca 1985 replacement for the MS/IBM KEYBNO keyboard   
   driver: The original version used 20-60 KB while I made do with 696   
   (rounded up to 704 to be a multiple of 16) bytes while also supporting   
   replacement fonts for the Norwegian letters which were not included in   
   the EGA/VGA ROMs.   
      
   It worked by loading individual replacements for 'ø' and 'Ø' (Ø   
   in MIME QuotedPrintable format), in both 25x80, 43x80/50x80  (EGA/VGA)   
   modes. (These updates got reloaded each time the screen mode was reset   
   or changed into a text mode.)
