Hello,

I'm new to the mailing list but I've used LCDProc since early 0.4.5 
versions with my CFontz 634 V2, and I love this software !
Since I've reinstalled my server I wanted to tryout the newer 0.5.0 
version which compiled fine, but I've found some "little" problems
with the CFontz driver like non working bignums (lcdproc K) it only 
displays groups of § and ö which are changing position devided by : < 
kind of funny looking :)
, the heartbeat seems to be "corrupted" it is displayed as a kind of 
little block on the upper right corner with some spaces and lines in it 
whitch are moving < kind of funny looking too :)
, the horizontal bars seem to be corrupted as well since there are some 
pixels missing ? < not verry funny looking but strange :)
and last but not least something which I don't know if it's a bug or 
normal, the characters don't have the height of 8 but 7 pixels and the 
width of 5 not 6

Don't get me wrong I love this software and even use it with these 
"bugs" but if no one say's it there's no one who will look for this :)
like I sayed I've got a display V2 on my serial port I hope I've wrought 
all the information necessary and please excuse me for my poor english, 
it's been some time
since school.

Eventually I should mention that my system uses UTF-8 if that could 
possibly causing the problems.

Thanks

Sebastian
