+.SH NAME
+vga_gettextfont, vga_puttextfont \- get/set the font used in text mode
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.B "#include <vga.h>"
+
+.BI "void vga_gettextfont(void *font);"
+.br
+.BI "void vga_puttextfont(void *font);"
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functions gives access to the buffer where svgalib saves the font used by the kernel.
+This is used by the
+.BR restorefont "(1), "
+.BR savetextmode "(1), and "
+.BR textmode "(1)"
+utilities to restore a possibly screwed console font.
+
+The font buffer occupies 8192 bytes. However, versions 1.2.13 and later use
+a larger buffer internally and the size of the buffers passed to 
+.BR vga_gettextfont "(3) and " vga_puttextfont (3)
+can be set with
+.BR vga_ext_set (3).
+
+The functions give access to the internal buffers of svgalib,
+.B not
+the font tables of the VGA card. This means that both functions must be called
+in graphics mode and a newly set font takes effect only at the next
+.BR vga_setmode(TEXT)
+call.
