Possible to display two digits on a small (8x8) matrix? #36

I'm trying to display a number, 1 through 99, on an 8x8 matrix. Is such a thing possible with this library?

Or is it exclusively for scrolling text?

The text will only scroll if you repeatedly call UpdateText() so a single call will just display the text. But you will be hard pushed to design a font that is only 3 pixels wide per digit, 6 pixels is possible but your matrix would need to be 11 pixels wide as the gap pixel on the right side could be ignored.
