Yes. Yes. "/dev/mem" should be the raw memory device (where even the BIOS "image" can be read from), but this device which is only accessible to root. > How do I make the 16 bit segment/offset address > into a 32 bit pointer to access these fonts ? The same as in the old days: Multiply the segment with 16 and add the offset, which gives you the 32 bit (absolute/physical) address. This is basically the offset into the "/dev/mem" device file and thus can be fed to the (f)seek...
