You should be using color #0 for the background part of the characters, 
and color #255 for the separator grid lines. The best way to see how 
this should work is to make a new font object in the grabber, and 
export it to a .pcx file. This will give you a sample font in a format 
that the grabber will understand, so you can look at it to get an idea 
how the layout should be done...
