I once created a 3x5 character set for my TRS 80 Model 100 laptop, to
get more characters onto its 64 x 240 LCD -- 10 lines of 80 characters,
instead of the default 8 lines of 40 characters. It was fairly readable,
but vvveeerrryyy ssslllooowww because I was plotting the characters
point-by-point from BASIC. I never got around to making an
assembly-language driver for it. This would have been around 1985.
