Have been rewriting my font rendering code basically from scratch to be faster. It's faster, but I can't help but feel I might have mixed up something somewhere.

Another suggestion, that helped me a lot you can try to use qemu serial output to print some debugging (i'm using it a lot), it'se pretty easy to implement, you can have a look at how i did (https://github.com/dreamos82/Dreamos64/blob/master/src/kernel/debug/qemu.c)
