thanks for sharing. yes, what you did is no problem and clever. the font file is just a bunch of data lines and it is linear. when you display a character, the base address is calculated, and the character value is multiplied with the font length of each character, and the added to the base address. thus when pointing outside the table, you get funny pictures. as long as you know what you do (using different characters to display other characters) there is no problem. when you make a font that will display a for b and b for a, it would work too. but it would be a good idea to document it :-)
