14.1.2 Information Files for Display Drivers

The OEMSETUP.INF file for a display driver must contain a [display] section. The file may also contain the following sections:

[disks]
[sysfonts]
[fixedfonts]
[oemfonts]
[fonts]

Display drivers often have many dependent files such as files for standard- and 386 enhanced-mode grabbers, startup logo modules, and system, fixed, OEM, and user fonts. These sections fully specify the files to be installed with the display driver.

When installing a display driver, Setup selects fonts by matching the aspect ratio of the display to that of the font. For configurations using other than code page 437, Setup asks MS-DOS for code-page information and selects an OEM font from the [codepages] section based on that information. Because only MS-DOS version 3.30 and higher supports the call for code-page information, Setup may (depending on the MS-DOS version) rely on the defxlat setting in the [data] section to retrieve code-page information.
