Hi Matt,

I tried to include usage of glcd_common.jal in my sample. Indeed, far from
easy to integrate :)

I understand there are incompatibilities with GLCD fonts file. glcd_common
includes glcd_font, which by default uses glcd_5x7_font and glcd_font_8x12.
Why ? And why named differently ? glcd_nokia_3310 requires definition of
var_nmb, which "holds number of bytes used for a char". What would be the
equivalent in your glcd libs ? Also, can you explain how is glcd_font_8x12
working ?

In nokia_3310, should print_char be renamed to lcd_write_char(), as in
glcd_ks0108 ?

Why glcd_ks0108 defines its own 5x7 font table, and doesn't use
glcd_5x7_font lib ?

Some random questions, quite hard to dive into this...

Cheers,
Seb
