Dot Matrix font

This is an edit of the Monospace font, replacing the square pixels with dots. The regular font looks way too cartoony to me, when used as pixels. The dot matrix look fits better with the large low-resolution displays we have in Space Engineers.

It makes it look similar to what we used before the Monospace font was introduced, but much cleaner and with hundreds of colors.

This font does not change the regular letters. Scratch that! It now supports both regular text and the pixels. For a full Dot Matrix experience.

Note that the pictures above are taken with another one of my mods active. It’s called Reduced Bloom and it does exactly what is says on the tin. Vital for anyone using LCDs.

The scripts shown using it in the pictures are:

• Blargmode’s Fancy Flight Info
  
• Whiplash141’s Artificial Horizon
  
• Blargmode’s Fancy Ruler

Pros:
+ Looks pretty cool.
+ 5px text is easier to read.

Cons:
- Harder to see from a distance

So there's a whole bunch of characters that isn't just a key on the keyboard. I don't know how to make a decent list which you can copy paste from, so here they all are in the same order as in the screenshot:


Most are similar to what they look like in the here in the browser. Notable differences are the fractions, which are progress bar pieces in this font, and the last four which corresponds to the old button panel icons.

A note about the progress bar stuff; there's pieces for all four lines in a character, so you can make a progress bar with 4 steps per character.
