a 5x8 bitmap has forty pixels, any of which can be either on or off - that gives roughly twice as much data space as the 21-bit Unicode spec.
We don't need a font, then -- just map the pixels straight onto bits in the character code! Might require some user re-education, but that's a small price to pay for saving so much memory space. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
