Is anybody able to get the repo running? 'make qemu' simply shows a blank screen and exits. But the repo seems much farther along than the blog post.

The build defaults to debug, so `make qemu` also starts QEMU waiting for a debugger to attach. `make qemu BUILD=release` won't.
there's no comment section there so i'd figure i'd ask here: what is that font that it outputs? is that part of BIOS or something? or part of boot loader or PXE server? i assumed asm was the lowest level, is there some builtin font by default that can't be changed or something?
In contrast to this, many Unix workstations never implemented such a thing and went directly to graphics framebuffers (SUN cgX framebuffers for the ... Sbus??). For that, of course you have to implement the font rendering in "bios" , or in the case of the sun machine in the OpenFirmware. Slowly.)

It is indeed the default BIOS font. You usually get it when switching to a TTY on Linux, as well.
