<p>neither does this one (ha!)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:83Plus:BCALLs:By_Name:Display|Load_LFontV2]] [[Category:83Plus:BCALLs:By_Name|Load_LFontV2]] [[Category:83Plus:BCALLs:By_Address|806C - Load_LFontV2]]<br /> == Synopsis ==<br /> '''Unofficial Name:''' Load_LFontV2<br /> <br /> '''BCALL Address:''' 806C<br /> <br /> Load a large font bitmap in variable-width format.<br /> <br /> === Inputs ===<br /> * HL = character * 8<br /> <br /> === Outputs ===<br /> * [[83Plus:RAM:845A|lFont_record]] = variable-width bitmap (character width followed by seven bytes of bitmap data.)<br /> * HL points to lFont_record<br /> <br /> === Destroys ===<br /> * AF, BC, DE<br /> <br /> == Comments ==<br /> If you think this routine sounds suspiciously like [[83Plus:BCALLs:806F|Load_LFontV]]... you're right! On the TI-83 Plus, it points to the exact same code.<br /> <br /> On the TI-73, in contrast, this routine would be better named simply Load_LFont, and unlike Load_LFontV, it loads the bitmap in fixed-width format.<br /> <br /> It seems this was either an accident on TI's part, or a deliberate attempt at making the TI-73 and 83 Plus boot code incompatible. The former seems more likely, as the 83 Plus boot code's version of Load_LFont was in fact updated to include the font and localize hooks, suggesting that TI intended to use the routine as a B_CALL.<br /> <br /> Programs should probably use [[83Plus:BCALLs:806F|Load_LFontV]] instead.</div>
