Use of unsigned char instead of char #4

Closed xseignard closed 9 years ago

In order to display non ascii chars, we need to be able to go outside the range of -128/127 the char type handles.

Using unsigned char let us handle extend ascii chars till 255.

Thanks very much for this Xavier! I think it will be very popular.

One minor request, could you please add a comment to Arial_Black_16_Extended.h describing which characters are present in the font? Is it the full ISO/IEC 8859-1 "Latin-1" set, or is it a smaller range?

Really appreciate this, though. Several people have asked about extended character support, it's great to be able to supply a font that works with it.
