Just added a feature to RaysFontEditor so you can now easily create custom characters in Propeller ROM font format.
The new characters can be displayed with just a few lines of code.
Here's an example of the VGA_Demo modified to show 2 custom characters:
VGA_Demo_CustomFont - Archive [Date 2012.08.24 Time 11.38].zip
Here's the program to edit and export these characters to a .dat binary file:
RaysFontEditor_24Aug12.zip
The RaysFontEditor document with those two custom characters is included in the first zip file.

Here's a partial screen capture of RaysFontEditor editing the 2 custom 16x32 pixel characters:
Note: To add or subtract characters use the "Font Settings" menu to change the valid character range.
To save as the .dat file, use the "Export Font" menu and then select the "Parallax Propeller ROM Font" from the Preset Types drop-list.
