@foone seeing the font laid out like a sprite sheet makes me wonder if there's any good algos that have been found for taking an image and some sprite size x * y, and returning the smallest set of uniformly-sized image tiles/sprites which can be used to recreate that image (taking into account the possibility of cheap & useful transformations like rotation, mirroring, palette swaps etc.) could be really useful for compressing pixel art games
@foone I need to either find a tool or, more likely, bodge together a quick bit of Perl to do the inverse soon - want System/1's boot ROM to show a logo similarly but loading an entire bitmap segment into VRAM sounds a bit slow for sheer vanity!
