/* DMP2000/2160 fonts */
* Draft font: probably somewhere in uUD7811 ROM (not dumped)
* NLQ font: 128 characters, at EPROM offset 3400h..39FFh (pass1) and 3A00h..3FFFh (pass2); ASCII characters
'''Encoding:''' 12 bytes per char (one prefix, plus eleven 8bit columns; the prefix contains underlength flag, and proportional char width info; same format as with ESC "&" command), 2-pass NLQ characters are defined identically as two draft characters (the prefix byte is having the same value in both definitions)<br>
'''Mechanical Restrictions:''' After drawing a draft pixel, the next ONE pixel (in the same row) must be white. There is no such restriction for NLQ pixels (because they are defined in a lousy resolution).
