When i was trying with the API's i could able to get the bitmap of the glyph "A",But why only if value >128 trace outs the character glyph that i gave?Does it mean the Glyph data is always greater than 128?

Can you please explain me?

Thank You.

I've already explained this to you: The bitmap buffer contains gray
shades (values 0-255); for the TTY display I reduce them to two
values: A dot for the range 0-127 and an asterisk for 128-255.

PLEASE study the demo source code together with the tutorials.  And
don't rush.
