Looking for CHARACTER MAP for dot matrix LCD...

[ye]

Hi, everybody,

I am working on a project that involves a Batron LCD. The resolution is 124 by 64, i.e., 8 rows( each of which has 8 lines) by 124 columns.

Since I am designing the menus, I have got a character map already which is 7*8, i.e., if you wanna display character 'A' on the display in the first character position, write the data array:

{0x00,0x7E, 0x09, 0x09, 0x09, 0x7E, 0x00}

to the column 1 to 8 in row 1 and a 'A' will be on the display.


However, to make the display look more attractive, I certainly need a smaller character set so that I can have at least two font sizes on the LCD!!!!

Can anybody help me find a complete character set that is smaller than 7*8?


Just a kind reminder that, some of the character sets start from rows, i.e.,


1 ---------------->
2 ---------------->
.
.
8 ----------------->


BUT i am looking for those starting from columns,i.e.

1 2 8
