Best Andre, You have by now recieved several good and clearifying answers, as I came = back. Like you find, the letters need a bit of detail to be clear, and = the special caracters mode would apply.=20 My id=E9a is that you would need more special char's. than 8. But, you = would have to REDEFINE these as you go-along. The display doesn't = change, once data is written into the RAM of the display.
