Currently we are limited to 256 symbols per font. We use a menu system with 5 lines, on a display with 64 pixel height. That means we have 12 pixel for a line.

We use a menu system with 5 lines, on a display with 64 pixel height. That means we have 12 pixel for a line. To have some space in between the lines we can't use more then 10 pixel height for the symbols. For up to 11 pixel set TALL_FONT_CORRECTION 1 when loading the font.

Maybe you can work with half symbols - two places in the charset will than build one wide symbol. To fit 22 Symbols on the 128 pixel wide screen, the symbols can't be wider than 5 pixel, for the first 128 symbols.
For the second half of the font we now support up to 11x11 pixel.
