   For an Apple II, burn a new character generator ROM chip. As Apple
was about the only company which made those chips, there's no real dox
available, and this would only work on computers you modified. If you
don't mind a massive speed hit and don't mind losing compatability
with most programs, you could use the hires or double hires screens as
a graphical environment with your own custom fonts.
