dup /Encoding [/A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/I/J/K/L/M/N/O/P/Q/R/S/T/U/V/W/X/Y/Z] put

seems the simplest.

I just uploaded one here: http://repo.or.cz/Font7x5.git

I created it a couple years ago. Never used it on anything, but I used 
to draw a couple of characters every time I had nothing to do, or wanted 
to procrastinate. Very relaxing :)

There's something charismatic about that font.  Maybe it's the
horizontal lines, that make it reminiscent of old TV screens.
Not 7x5, looks more like 6x8; but what's in a name?
Lots of unusual characters, too.  Nice.

Thanks. They are 7x5 (or 5x7) letters inside a 8x6 (or 6x8) grid, the
sixth column and eighth row providing space between characters and
lines. I honestly don't know whether it's a 7x5, 5x7, 8x6 or 6x8 font...
