; Draws character in register A to the screen at current coords (Y)

; Glyph's first byte is at:
; glyph_pointer = font_starting_mem_pos + (ascii_code * number_of_bytes_per_font)
; But all the fonts are 1 byte large, so a glyph is 1*height bytes:
; glyph_pointer = FONT + (ascii_code * FONT_HEIGHT)
; Save current chunk cursor position (Y)

; The drawing consist of FONT_HEIGHT cycles. Every glyph byte is placed on its own line
; on screen. To do this, we place it LINE_COLUMNS bytes after the previous one.
