font8X8

Language Agnostic 8x8 monochrome bitmap font for rendering

Adapted from: dhepper/font8x8.

Copied hex codes from header file to text file.

How to write converters

1. Read file 'ascii'
2. seek to ascii code * ((4 * 8) + 8)
3. read ((4 * 8) + (1 * 8)) bytes
4. convert to binary
5. print array

Converters can also be used in unix-y way:

$ convert.py A | sed 's/0/ /g
  11
 1111
11  11
11  11
111111
11  11
11  11
