FYI, Theiling Online just released a really nice open source, small bitmap, proportional font family that could be used for 8x8 LED matrix displays, for example. The distro has #include files for C/C++. They're available at http://www.theiling.de/projects/liquid.html.
Wow, that are some crisp, tiny fonts! Thanks a lot!
This is really nice. It took me hours to find a decent font for my 8x8 Matrix. I wish i'd had this at the time.
