This function returns a value that corresponds to the address of the fonts in use on the specified channel. The second parameter must be 1 for the first font address or 2 for the second, there are two fonts used on each channel. If the result is negative then it will be a normal QDOS error code. The channel must be a CON_ or a SCR_ channel to avoid errors.

4515     number = PEEK(address + 1)
4520     PRINT '#'; channel; ' font '; a; ' at address '; address
4525     PRINT 'Lowest character code = '; lowest
