So as to help with embedded projects.

4x5-font.js contains a javascript object describing the font. Key/Value pairs are character/mapping pairs. Mapping is list of rows (4 bits).

Works in Python (remove var):

>>> char_map = ...
>>> char = 'A'
>>> for row in char_map(char_map[char]):
...     print(bin(row))
...
0b0100
0b1010
0b1110
0b1010
0b1010

That's an uppercase 'A':
