Hey, this is great - I think the photo from the LCD monitor output is the most useful - I have actually been using a photo I took of the original font output (flanked by X characters for scale and alignment) which I enlarge on-screen and overlay a 6x20 grid so I can visualize where the pixels will land as I clean up the original font. I can do the same with your photo to make a scaled & cleaned-up DVI-inspired font.
If you're going to do that much, then I will grab some more pics with a better camera and a tripod so my hand isn't moving, and manual focus. Maybe even a good straight-on centered shot without glare from the room lights. Maybe with manual controls I can get a shot in the dark without the text blooming.
It was difficult to get a clear pic with my phone, mostly because for this you can't use the flash, and that's pretty much the only way to get good clear shots with my phone is with the flash. I guess the flash makes a shorter exposure time.
