Symbol-Mod

[CHDKLover]

Hallo,
msl and I create a cool Symbol Mod. You can load a symbol font and combine it with nearly every font and language file. The font size must be greater than the Symbol size. You can also disable the Mod in the OSD submenue.

Here my diff file and a preview:

Cool stuff. It will improve usability alot since people read signs better than text.

Yes, the menu-font must be 16pt or greater to see the symbols.

It ist difficult to create a symbol smaller than 16pt. The matrix is very small.

I think, this size (16pt) is a good middleway.

Nice work, Barney. 

But this font ist to small for my display.

The good thing of this mod is, everybody can make and take his own symbol fonts.

Hallo,
today I have made some littel changes. For example now you can choise the color of the Symbols via menu and I have optimized the source code.
