Font work

I added a few more glyphs to the standard font today: box unchecked, checked, or X'd out. I even added them to the "small" and "large" fonts you can draw in a PixelDisplay (via gfx.print).

However, I still need to fill in a lot of the other glyphs in those alternate fonts, especially for accented Latin characters.

Zug zug, work work... 🙂

And... done! 😁 (Right-click and use "View Image" on the image below to see it at full scale.)

These are all the non-ASCII characters we support. If there are any other characters you really think should be included, now would be a good time to speak up! We can't provide general support for non-Latin languages, unfortunately, but if there is some other particular glyph you think would be generally useful to Mini Micro developers, and can make a good case for it, we could certainly add it in.

OK, after many deep and profound brain-things in my head, I decided to add three additional characters: micro (µ), pi (π), and bullet (•). All of these are easy to type (on a Mac at least) and frequently needed in science, math, or when just printing a list.

I think that's it though. This seems like a good set, and will probably be final. (Speak now, or forever hold your peace!)
