The return values for _registerfonts() and _setfont() are incorrect on
Page 325 of the "C for Yourself" manual that comes with Microsoft
QuickC Version 2.00. These functions are described as returning void;
however, the return values as specified in the "Microsoft QuickC
Graphics Library Reference" manual are signed short integers.

The following _registerfonts() function return values have the
following meanings:

   Return
   Value    Meaning
   ------   -------

   > 0      If positive, the number of fonts registered
    -1      No such file or directory
    -2      One or more of the .FON files was not a valid,
            binary .FON file
    -3      One or more of the .FON files is damaged

The _setfont() function returns the following:

     0      If successful
    -1      Font wasn't registered
    -4      Not enough memory available for the font
