how about like in real life, CC uses the real pixels on teh screen itself instead of a map of characters, cuz in real life, the OS makes sure that the letters are all in the correct places according to the grid. it just renders the font in the right places.
how about that, make each pixel a real pixel instead of a character map

Not necessarily 'redefine', more of 'define and register an entirely new character'You mean an option to redefine the characters? I'd love that, and it would (mostly) solve the bandwidth issues, but I still can't see it happening. :(/>/>

Yes, but here's a "Smiley face"You do realise that you're bringing the complexity of what is aimed at to be a simple mod that helps newbies to learn programming, into the realm of too complex for newbies and potentially too much of a pain for experienced programmers.

And the ability to define a smiley face outweighs the complexity added?

*correction: I was using a multiline string, not a table.And the ability to define a smiley face outweighs the complexity added?
Well, if you had the ability to define your own characters in ComputerCraft and be able to write them as regular letters.. I think that would far outweigh most barriers preventing this to be implemented. And who says there has to be complexity? It's as simple as KingOfGames wrote it, just define a bunch of tables for your character(s), then (probably) call a function to register it as a character under a particular variable name.
EDIT: Though even if all of the Computercraft Community wants it, that doesn't mean Dan will approve it.

In my opinion that's not so much comlex, if you don't want it, then don't use it. Problem solved. This would help for many people in their programs with GUI. And newbies can come to this later on. This is similar to images expect no colors. Image is even more complex thing and this one is quite simple.And the ability to define a smiley face outweighs the complexity added?

The difference is a command block doesn't change how a player breaks, or places blocks. Making this change to monitors would effect the simplest of tasks when it comes to monitors.Agreed. That's like saying Minecraft shouldn't have added command blocks, specifically because they're too complex. Yet you don't have to touch a command block in your entire life to still have fun in Minecraft.
