Hi,

I'm currently polishing the 8x16 font, and made some modifications to few glyphs.
It's not commited nor merged yet to the main code.

I will post here a picture of the modifications.

Cheers.

IMO you can't make 8 pixels wide bold font without heavy compromises. But whatever most of the guys here prefer... Maybe make a poll?
