Assumed that you got it working, and Nicolai also gave me some hints =
when I tried
some 'odd' coding schemes, very nice guy.

Well, I assume by inverted you mean the the actual font is constructed =
of
non-lit pixels and the surrounding is lit. In that case I used the =
scheme
below, I used the TABLAT to read the font definition on an 18F452, then =
the
byte was put onto to the 8 bit data bus to the lcd, but just before I =
strobed
the E line I checked an bitvariable if the font was supposed to be =
inverted,
if so I just did an complement on the port and presto=3Dinverted font :)

        ; now we can fan out the digit
        TBLRD*+                 ; read next byte in font
        MOVFF   TABLAT,gLCD_DATA_PORT ; move to lcd data bus
        ; check if we are to invert output
        BTFSC   _gLCDInvert
        COMF    gLCD_DATA_PORT,F        ; complement =3D invert
        mGLCD_STROBE_E  ; strobe e
