After some very thorough digging I did manage to find a few Piconians making use of the new ability to change the system font to another, yet none of the explanations seemed really simple to follow.

So once I finally understood - I thought I would toss my hat into the ring to show an easier way to replace the default 5x3 font with a new 8x8 font - which is included. See the source for details.

And it's not using SPR() or SSPR() but PRINT, so it really is a true font replacement ! And you have the ability to plot it in color or make use of the new P8SCII codes on it if you so choose.

To type in lowercase for PRINT, use CTRL+P, a notice saying PUNY FONT will appear and then you must hold SHIFT to type back in uppercase. Press CTRL+P again to leave Puny Font mode - and you are back.

Hope This Helps !
