You have to tell us what you have to work with so that we can help you
with the shortest possible path. Since you did not I'm going to
interrogate you but eventually I'll get tired and abandon this thread. So
here goes:

1) You said you already had code working. Is that the glcd code?  Does
your working code use the header gdisp.h?  If you have gdisp.h then your
working code uses glcd from somewhere other than 8052.com. Tell us if your
code has gdisp.h in it.

2) If your using glcd code (the one with gdisp.h in it)  then it already
has font files and they are available for you to use. I will wait to
demonstrate how to use them based on your answer to question 1.

3) If your NOT using glcd then the shortest path to success is the url
which I previously gave you. Here it is again:
http://www.8052.com/users/mkaras/GraphLCD.phtml
This gLCD code does what you want to do: Write text characters to the
display using a font which is already specified in the headers and he
shows you how to use them. In this scenario there is no reason to use your
existing font files or explain how to get your compiler to point to them
because the examples show you how.

Wait!  Are you telling me the code from MKaras from 8052.com is complex?
Please say no. If you want complex and no documentation then buy  gLCD
from Ramtex and write me back. The code is at least 30 times the size,
with lots of features like windowing, and harder to get started with.
There are at least 60 files in the Ramtex distribution of gLCD.

Finally- Are you telling us that what you really want is a example simpler
than the gLCD code from mkaras off the 8052 site?  In my opinion that
would be what you started with, the example that displays a bitmap. Want
to display simple characters crt style?  The answer, with this display, is
you have to use a font file and stuff it out rows at a time, 5 rows of 8
bytes for each character and then add some for intercharacter spacing. Its
not as simple as writing a character to a serial port or calling printf
but if you get the code working you can encapsulate all the non-trivial
stuff behind printf or debug_printf and your life is easy until you start
using another graphic display. Work like this takes work and the gLCD code
off of 8052.com is the shortest path to plugging and playing.

Again, I hope this helps and if you have more questions just continue
posting them.
