 Single-byte Characters:
For single-byte characters (system, multi-
language, etc.), simply assign either
FONT6X8 or FONT_8X16.
 20X20 Double-byte Characters:
If you assign FONT_10X20
, the font size for single byte characters will be
10x20, while it will still take 20x20 for double-byte characters (Tc20, Sc20
,
Jp20, Kr20). It thus provides flexibility in displaying alphanumeric.
 16x16 Double-byte Characters:
You may assign FONT_6X8 or FONT_8X16 to display alphanumeric characters.
 12x12 Double-byte Characters:
If you assign FONT_6X12, the font size for single byte characters will be 6x12,
while it will still take 12x12 for double-
byte characters (Tc12, Sc12, Jp12,
Kr12). It thus provides flexibility in displaying alphanumeric. However, for
Japanese Katakana, you have to assign FONT_12X12; otherwise, the cursor
position will be misplaced.
