International Fonts
Each country has a different local standard to display certain characters like a currency sign or to match their standard keyboard.
For example, \ (backslash) is displayed as ¥ yen sign in Japan.
Selectable Font Table configuration and its benefit
The display module’s font table has 2 parts, the first part covers the character code 20h-7Fh, and the second part covers the character code 80h-FFh.
Each part can be changed to the different configurations by selected command parameters below.
Combining international font table commands and character table type commands creates more than 100 font tables.
