Anyone have a large font library for a 16x32 matrix? I'm trying to go larger than the usual 5x7 font.
I really just need 0-9

What display is this font intended for? LED matrix?
16x32 RGB LED Matrix
You can make a "tall" font from the 5x7 font.
To do that simply double each vertical pixel. While not as clean looking
as a larger font it still provides very usable results.
You can do the same thing in the horizontal direction as well.
If you do it runtime, this gives you
5x7, 5x14 (tall), 10x7 (wide), 10x15 (tall and wide) all
from the same 5x7 font data.
I've got a cp437 8x8 font which has some really nice graphic
capabilities if you want to use that. It also can scale up
to 8x16, 16x8 or 16x16 using the method described above.

I posted a script that should be able to give you what you want. It converts BDF glyph data to a C data structure and rotates each character 90 degrees clockwise.

Use with the appropriate BDF file... for example: http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/X11fonts/X11fonts-14/font-sony-misc/font-sony-misc-1.0.3/8x16.bdf

Wonderful script!
