   This info is contained on some character generator ROM, which isn't
really accessible to programs. If you have a really old ][ (][+ or earlier),
I believe the Char rom is a separate chip on the motherboard; rip it out
and read it.
  
   On the other hand, there are some sorta font files running around;
I don't know if any exist on the internet, as except for sorta freetools
things, nobody uses font files...
