Yes

Make a rom dump and look at the function, it is very simpel to fin the addr.
I have not checked, but they are probably located in different places in all
rom versions, but you program could just hold a pointer for each rom
version.
>ROMs??? Are they even stored in sprites???) and just write your own
I looked at the fonts once, but i can not exatcly remeber the format, but it
was quite simpel, again have a look at the runtine in the rom and see how it
is used.
