NOTES =

* So that the FULL MATRIX can be revealed
 by enabling all the segments (33 layers)
 via "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW" 
(or any distribution of this full string).

**
Now you may 'fontstruct' my 25TH VERSION…
(the "MARS:BENZ" test showcases this one).

***
The expected final & plain VECTOR DESIGNS
could simply begin with rotating squares…
Even in this early and geometric step #0,
all the 33 segment areas would be similar.

33?!
1 BIT too many… try removing S00 yourself
(or merge by adding a 'separating value').

Use the glyph SPACING as usual in x and y
(even by kerning the variable width font).

I started drawing many V1 GLYPHS on April
(+ several ANIMATIONS for matrix testing).

The inherited 7-SEGMENT matrix is a LIMIT
(e.g. no added border for the diacritics).
