After calling Start Code-Page Prepare, a program must write data
defining the codepage fonts to the device driver by using function
4403h (Send Control Data to Character Device). The code-page data
is device-specific. The program must end the code-page preparation
by using function 440Ch /4dh (End Code-Page Prepare).
A program can instruct the device driver to set up the device with
the most recently prepared code page by calling Start Code-Page
Prepare with all code-page numbers set to 0FFFFh. This operation
must be followed immediately with a call to End Code-Page Prepare.
