I'm finding more and more applications where I have to drive a color
graphics LCD. We have a system running with a CPLD and SRAM where the CPLD
generates the high speed parallel video for the display, pulling the data
from SRAM, and also allowing the PIC to read and write the SRAM. It SEEMS,
though, that this should be a relatively common application, and that such
an LCD controller should be on the PIC (or on the display module). Is
anyone aware of such a micro (or a family of display modules that have
their own frame buffers)?

By the way, I'm having fun with Unifont (http://czyborra.com/unifont/).
Yesterday I wrote a small perl script that takes the native Unifont format
and converts it into PIC24 .pbyte lines with the first two bytes holding
the Unicode character number. If the character is 16 bits wide, instead of
8, it takes two table entries with the second one having a Unicode number
of 0xffff. On receiving characters to display, I intend to do a binary
search through the table, then put up the appropriate character. Anyway,
Unifont looks interesting...
