Thanks Tony

It looks pretty cool.

Yes, ofcource it's on  the piclist site, and there are a few other of these
excellent
tools available to:

http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist/codegen/index.htm

And in particular:
http://www.piclist.com/techref/datafile/charset/extractor/charset_extractor.
htm

Amongst others I've made an 18x32 font (only 0-9) for the KS108 based
display and it looks very good,
it's based on Arial Narrow and I made the bitmap in paint (use low color
depth, preferably only black/white, else you'll get aliasing artifacts).

I enclose the bit map as it's only 570 bytes large.
This in an bat file generated the assembly table:
(Se note below !)

png2charset -w 20 -h 32 -b 8 -r 0x -m
a0b0c0d0e0f0g0h0i0j0k0l0m0n0o0p0q0r0s0t0-a1b1c1d1e1f1g1h1i1j1k1l1m1n1o1p1q1r

I belive Nicolias program has been updated to ease the generation of this
particular mapping,
(vertical<->horizontal ?)so I think it should be easier now. Originally is
was a bit daunting as the font
is most effective when you can use the autoincrement on each page and fan
out
each 8 pixel heigh 'scanline' for the font sequencially. Read the
documentation.
