Hmm - this simply overloads the builtin font, so you always get
8x8 chars, even in 25-line mode.

That was my impression too, as I wrote in a previous mail.
Would be good to get it confirmed by some documentation...

Yes, this would work. Unfortunately, this is quite expensive and
needs to be done with interrupts blocked. So it should be limited
to cases where there is no other choice - ie strange hardware.
