/**
  * Class definition for a MicrobitFont
  * This class represents a font that can be used by the display to render text.
  *
  * A MicroBitFont is 5x5.
  * Each Row is represented by a byte in the array.
  *
  * Row Format:
  *            ================================================================
  *            | Bit 7 | Bit 6 | Bit 5 | Bit 4 | Bit 3 | Bit 2 | Bit 1 | Bit 0 |
  *            ================================================================
  *            |  N/A  |  N/A  |  N/A  | Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 | Col 4 | Col 5 |
  *            |  0x80 |  0x40 |  0x20 | 0x10  | 0x08  | 0x04  | 0x02  | 0x01  |
  *
  * Example: { 0x08, 0x08, 0x08, 0x0, 0x08 }
  *
  * The above will produce an exclaimation mark on the second column in form the left.
  *
  * We could compress further, but the complexity of decode would likely outweigh the gains.
