That’s how I implemented the variant where GetPat returns a (typed)
pattern array of byte - of type Display.Pattern. In Fonts I then have
TYPE FontDesc = RECORD ... pattern: Display.Pattern END ;
very similar to the original Oberon system.
I suspect the reason why GetPat returns an integer patadr is for
performance reasons (not sure about that though?)
