### No FONT data in ROM
Second, each glyph in the Apple font is in a 7x8 cell -- the leading line on the bottom is usually blank but we'll store that too so that we have a true "underline" and bottom descender on 'j', 'y', etc.
Second, each glyph in the Apple font is in a 7x8 cell -- the leading line on the bottom is usually blank but we'll store that too so that we have a true "underline" and bottom descender on 'j', 'y', etc. How do we know this?
The `TEXT` screen is 40x24 characters. The high resolution graphics `HGR` screen is 280x192.
Char Width (px/character) = Screen Width (px) / Columns (characters) = 280/40 = 7
Char Height (px/character) = Screen Height (px) / Rows (characters) = 192/24 = 8
Unfortunately, the data for the TEXT ROM 25123 hardware chip is **not** accessible from the 6502. :-/ This means you will need to manually enter in the 8 bytes/character. :-( The good news is that I've already done this so you can copy / paste. :-)
