utf-8 for RPL source code

[Helix]

Your explanations are helpful, thank you.
I think I will begin a font and send you this preliminary work, so if something is wrong you will tell me what to change.
The ability to modify a font with an additional tool (not necessarily included in the ROM), is a feature that will certainly satisfy some picky users like me, who are never happy with this or that letter . And it means that my possible creations won't be set in stone, which is more relaxing for me.


I still have some questions:

We have already 6 and 7 height fonts in the HP50g. Is it possible to reuse these fonts, or do you prefer entirely different fonts? (I'm afraid of the answer…)

Is it possible that the last line of the font is not entirely blank, and used by some characters like p, q, y? I suppose yes…

You don't plan to include an 8 height font? It's a pity, because I find this size of font very easy to read. I've seen some of you earlier posts, with the description of the three rows of soft menus. They consume a lot of space! I'm not sure I would prefer this disposition. I like very much the actual display arrangement of the HP50g. I have reassigned the HIST key for recalling the last menu, and it's enough for my (modest) needs. But of course, it's not my project, and I'm not aware of all the possibilities that you envision.
