rom0:FONTM load failed in PSX DVR and other old machines #23

Is it possibe to replace FONTM with some free implementation? Kernelloader is based on gsKit with Fontm feature used and this leads to problem that it is not possible to run kernelloader on psx dvr for example.

FONTM is a headerless JIS X208 font. So either you make your own font (and your own drawing code if you change the format), or you use FreeType to work with True Type Fonts.

BTW, while it depends on the OSDSYS program, this file is present on all PS2 models. Only the TOOL, PSX and other non-standard consoles (that lack the standard OSDSYS) will not have it.
