As well as saving space, it'd be nicer to read. And also discard a few pixel lines at the top and bottom of the character set, as the interline spacing is quite generous. That would save a few horizontal pixels on some alphanumerics, and all punctuation and spaces. All you'd need is a table of character widths. In fact, you could go further with an adventure text TV driver, and reinterpret the ROM character set as a proportional font. You'd probably want to use a narrower font than the standard ROM one, or perhaps have the driver resize the ROM font. It'd look nicer, and give you twice as many lines of text on the screen. I didn't mention it as one of the things you could do with Fantasia in the demo because you'd want to use an interlaced TV driver for that. It's of of the things I've thought about doing, but there's quite a few other ideas I fancy doing more. Thanks for the kind words about Fantasia!
