I am working on an embedded system project with a low-powered microcontroller and low-resolution graphic display.

I wrote this tool to design a very small, compressed font.

I like this - spent a good 5 mins designing some chars.

Suggestion: Add a grid of the chars created so far rendered at 100% (i.e. 8 pixels by 8 pixels, or maybe 200% 16 pixels), on the right hand side of the large box - so that the designer can see all the generated characters at once - to get a feel if any of the chars look odd across the whole font set.
