When trying to install Fedora Core 2, the instalation switches the
text font and text becomes unreadable, so it's difficult to continue.

Browsing at http://osdev.neopages.net/FreeVGA/vga/vgatext.htm#fonts
they describe the following:

  " If bit 3 of a character's attribute byte is set to 1, then
    the character set selected by Character Set A Select field,
    otherwise the character set specified by Character Set B
    Select field is used. "

But current code in QEMU is the oposite. So, I changed it with the
patch below, and FC2 installed!
