Hello,

I'm a Mister FPGA user, i was using ao486 core and playing old games of MS-DOS and I have detected failures in the first versions of Sierra, aga system like Space Quest 1 or 2 (other with same aga version too).

I thought was a Mister problem, but looking i see Mister use Bochs, so I tried on Windows 10 with bochs, i have loaded the image and I have the same graphic problem, there is not text there is some "ççççç" char.

Can you help me?

Regards,
Shaeon.

    This is a VGABIOS issue. I'll have a look.

    I have not yet found out what's going wrong in the LGPL'd VGABIOS. As a workaround you can use the legacy Elpin VGABIOS distributed with Bochs.

    I have now fixed the LGPL'd VGABIOS and updated Bochs SVN. The text output in VGA graphics modes must use a configurable pointer to the font, but previous version could only use the builtin hardcoded fonts.
