Bitmap lower-case rendering issue #19

Closed chardida closed 2 years ago

chardida commented 3 years ago

In /VGA/Bitmaps/kernel.c when I try to draw bitmapped lowercase letters on the screen the letter does not display, when using the draw_string() function. I understand this is because there is no definition for lower-case letters in bitmap.c but I don`t know how to make the definitions - there is no page I have found so far on the internet explaining how.

I hope someone else can explain this better, but bitmaps are stored in an array. Basically, B10010011 would turn on a certain number of pixels, and you would do that for each of the 8 rows.
