Explanation
Pprint offer great flexibility, and improves the appearance of a GLCD no end. The fonts though can take a lot of code space, which might be very wasteful when you really only want to display large numbers.
The trick is to reduce the font to hold just the characters you require.
This is how to store only the numbers from a font, Chrs48 to Chrs57 / 0 to 9
Open the font file and remove all CDATA from character " " to "/", but leaving the labels in place. Next remove all the labels and data from ":" onwards. Lastly remove all the labels from the look up table, label 57 onwards.
Note. you have to leave the labels before "0" to enable the correct character data to be addressed.
The same technique can be used to store only the characters you use no matter what they are or in what sequence. But remember to save the label names unless they are after the last character you want to use.
