#101675 - External EEPROM
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Can you move the strings to an external EEPROM accessed by I2C or SPI? There is no doubt that text displays on LCDs chew up a lot of code space.

I have not done this myself, but if you look at encoding for magnetic cards, they abandon ASCII for a smaller more compact character set. Perhaps if you get desperate you can look at that. But certainly, like other posts have mentioned, make sure you are not waisting RAM space for unnecessary pointers or string data.
