HP 4195A 8x13 font #26

Closed fenugrec closed 1 year ago

This font is extracted from a ROM dump, Rev 2.00 (datecode 03/1989), of an HP 4195A network/spectrum analyzer.

Characters 0x20-0x7F are essentially ASCII. 00-0x1F are special characters; many are simply empty space. The ROM uses a lookup table which maps all these unused characters to the same "space" bitmap. In addition, they are drawn LSB-to-MSB which made it necessary to mirror the whole font.

Thanks! Note that you can achieve the automatic replacement in yaff by setting default-char: 0x20. But this works, too.
