[57north-discuss] 16 x 2 LCD screen in Japenese font

[Wouter Piessens]

Kevin, Robert,

I do suspect too that it is the Japanese type, though from contact with
Pimoroni today I understand it should be possible to set the standard font
to the other languages....I will bring the module this evening (after the
event at Codebase one) to tinker with it (and listen to complaints about
sore backs ;-)  )

Cheerio,

W
