Given that nearly all graphical displays are based on drawable, we can easily provide support for UTF8/Unicode on any display whatsoever by building it into tcMenu. This means that users can simply create their own font structure using the designer with just the right series of glyphs in it.

Designer will have a new screen under Code -> Font Creation Tool that will generate the header file, and these would then be usable with any display drawable. We already have most of the code on the embedded side, the most complex change is in desgner UI to allow graphical selection of the font glyphs to be included.

For 3.0, there are a couple of issues with font spacing for smaller displays such as OLED. These will be improved in 3.1.
