A quick look at the datasheet for HD44780U shows it coming in Japanese or European versions, sounds like you've got a Japanese version. Looks like the fonts are stored in ROM set at the factory so not really anything you can do to change that now. https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/LCD/HD44780.pdf Robert ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam [email protected] argh.technology What do you consider to be your median achievement?
