proportional font request

[+Andrew Davie]

If each font character was stored as a byte wide, plus a width, could the system without too much trouble do proportional fonts?

This would jam a hell of a lot more on the screen and IMHO look absolutely amazing. Imagine the improved "m", "w", "i", "l" and spaces themselves.

I'd be more than happy (of course) to do a proportional font if it's possible. Please!!

 

Nevermind - I forgot that the character display has unusable pixels in the 0th pixel area.

Maybe one day we can find a 128 pixel gapless kernel to use.

Meanwhile.... belay the above suggestion/request.

A gapless 128 pixel is possible, but not in 6507 assembler.
