Hi Alan, I did do it like this:
have an array of "chars", organized as (for simplicity) 8x8 pixels, 
either in Program memory or I2C/SPI External EEPROM;
Calculate a pointer into it, based on ASCII code (i.e. 65 for "A") 
(usually I subtract 32);
position the Graphic cursor of the LCD at the top-left position where 
the char is going to be printed;
go reading one after the other the 8 byte making up the Char, and plot 
them onto the LCD one below the other.

I had done it in assembler, should go finding that code...
