This allow a lot more characters to fit on that tiny screen...

# This script converts "space-dot" fonts to binary "glyph rows". One byte for
# each row. In a 5x7 font, each glyph thus use 7 bytes.
# Resulting bytes are aligned to the **left** of the byte. Therefore, for
# a 5-bit wide char, ". . ." translates to 0b10101000
# Left-aligned bytes are easier to work with when compositing glyphs.
