NOTE An 8 x 14 font for the EGA modes can be provided with a DOS TSR
(terminate and stay resident) program. If the TSR has not been loaded when
the mode is set, the 8 x 16 font is used with the two bottom rows deleted. This
causes truncation of characters with descenders, but does not restrict
program operation. The TSR should be used for absolute compatibility with
DOS applications that use the 8 x 14 font.
