character generator's display. The on screen format menus always use the
small character size.
The TINY character size occupies 8 lines per field for each character row.
This permits 28 vertical positions on the raster in NTSC or 32 in PAL.
The SMALL character size occupies 16 lines per field for each character
row. This permits 14 vertical positions on the raster in NTSC or 16 in PAL.
The LARGE character size occupies 32 lines per field for each character
row. This permits 7 vertical positions on the raster in NTSC or 8 in PAL.
