I will post the font data files tomorrow evening for you.

The fonts were coded by hand from the DM8678 data sheet (or application note) - I believe they are accurate. As far as I know you can’t directly read the character Rom in the DM8678, as there’s no data bus. I’ve never seen an example of the CAH version for sale (lower case and symbols) so thought it would be good to include it in the emulator module.
