Easiest way, but increases your code by 4k. There are several sources that provide the entire font in binary or source format so you do not need to manually write it out.
=== Store it in a file ===
Most modular way. You can use different fonts if you like. Downside you'll need a working filesystem implementation. As for the file format, I'd suggest tothe use Linux'saforementioned [[PC Screen Font]] format(.psfu) soor that[[Scalable youScreen can use the console fonts shipped with your LinuxFont]] distribution(.sfn).
 
=== Get the copy stored in the VGA BIOS ===
It's a standard BIOS call (no need to check it's persistence). If you're still in real mode, it's quite easy to use.
