This is part of the glyph form for Deja Vu Sans 7 -

You can probably imagine how strange that looked scrolling by at 45mm high 8 pixels when I was expecting a black and white image.

It looks like - out of the fonts in my image by default - only the Deja Vu fonts are 16bpp. Of course they are the default that I got when doing experiments on the astropi board, just to add some confusion to the day.
