(s140W [character descriptor and data]
Note Notice that the 140 appearing in the Character Definition Command
accounts for 2 bytes of the Character Data Block Header, 14 bytes
of Character Descriptor, and 124 bytes of Character Data. Since the
Character Width is 26 dots, 4 bytes are needed per raster row. Also,
since the Character Height is 31 dots, 124 bytes of Character Data for
a Class 1 character is needed (4 × 31 = 124). No continuation block is
to be expected.
