Displaying String on Free42 & DM42

[Ken S]

Bill,

Great work! A couple of possibly stupid questions.

Once you have a font matrix on the 42 do you need the 'Fonts' program installed or is it only used to create the matrix?

Does this have to take over the entire screen? Probably not possible but I would love it if you could set the DM42 display to the default X Y or X Menu used by the HP42S and use the upper part of the display for information and status display for the programs you create.

Either way this is an interesting bridge giving more control of the display similar to the HP48.
