OpenSCAD Bitmap Fonts Module

In a brief investigation, 16-bit Dings seem feasible; however, 32 bits may be required for a smoother outcome. An icon editor capable of saving data as binary code is desired since using emacs picture mode was inconvenient with 1s and 0s. Additionally, an overlap parameter has been implemented to prevent OpenScad complaints when adjacent cubes share an edge, with a small overlap value sufficient. Improvements could be made to the OpenSCad code, as it currently functions but is merely a test. The original OpenSCAD Bitmap Fonts Module can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2054. Be cautious when printing the test example - use small filament and low speed. If needed, adjust block_size (1 = 16mm) to 1.5 or 2 (e.g., 1.5 for a 24mm result in the picture).
