Alphabet for writing to TV (very small code)

yeah I agree that font I have is crap, If anyone knows of a good way to convert fonts to bitmaps that would be very helpful. Ive looked and looked for something that will do what I need to no avail. Ive found a few but they dont give me info on the how the byte is arranged....
an 8x8 font would be ideal as it could be placed into memory very fast and should be large enough to look decent(currently its 5x7).
