Frank,

Regarding the C array initializer notion, if all else fails, you can expand the glyph-generation macros I described here http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=50125 for a painful do-it-yourself method. The macro will easily accommodate 12 x 24, but "drawing" them by hand is an entirely different matter!
