Character bitmap data:

A character is made up of a bitmap the size of which is: 

Char. width (X) * Char. Height (Y) bytes.

The bitmap data consists of bitmap patterns for each character in a character set for which the parameter Char_width in the Char_matrix table is set to a value between 1 and 24. A character that has its Char_width set to zero, is not included in the bitmap data.

The bitmap for one character is then defined according to the following table:

Example • In this example, each row consists of 3 columns equal to 3 bytes.

(COL 0, ROW Ystart) , (COL 1, ROW Ystart) , (COL 2, ROW Ystart)

(COL 0, ROW Ystart+1) , (COL 1, ROW Ystart+1) , (COL 2, Ystart+1)

(COL 0, ROW Ystart+Yheight), (COL 1, ROW Ystart+Yheight ), (COL 2, ROW Ystart+Yheight)

In order to minimize the required storage space, only rows between Ystart and Ystart+Yheight are included in the character bitmap.
