Heck no. Heres the break down on the character data, it may be of some help.

  'NOTE: First data item, the 150 is the ASCII number I'm going to redesign.
  'The remaining data items are the values for each row of the character in
  'the chart below.

  'Hourglass
  DATA  150, 0, 0, 255, 129, 129, 66, 36, 24, 24, 36, 66, 129,
        129, 255, 0, 0

1 = Pixel is ON
0 = Pixel is OFF

Pretty simple eh, when calculating a row, simply add the values at the top
