  If we're talking about the actual creation of the character font,
it's that easy.  Easier than Wagner stated in fact.  People seem to
forget the binary format.  I don't know why.

  retlw B'11111'
  retlw B'10000'
  retlw B'10000'
  retlw B'11100'
  retlw B'10000'
  retlw B'10000'
  retlw B'10000'
  retlw 0

  Using the simple "0" on the last line delineates the character nicely,
the whole eight of these constructs (won't fit on a page!) can be drawn
quite fast.

  If you're using a programmers' editor, use dots and stars to draw
the font much more clearly:

  *****
  *....
  *....
  ***..
  *....
  *....
  *....

  Then replace stars with 1s and dots with 0s, edit in the "retlw B'"
and the final "'" and the zero line, and you've virtually got a
five-minute font (of 8 characters).
