I have an LM213XB lcd panel with a HD61830 controller chip. Lcd sheet says it's a 256 * 64 display (for graphics). I was looking to calculate the # of characters it would display. The controller chip states it will do 5*7 or 5*11 chars. Should I assume that the 5*7 would actually consume 8*8 or would it be larger to have the cursor?

My thoughts were to use the first 3/4 for text and the last part (64*64) for a logo.
Is this doable?
I know there was a Glcd lib posted here before that if used I would have to change the commands to support this display. This display is something that was going to be tossed, so I saw it as a nifty project to get back into microcontrollers.
