The font on the LCD is fixed at manufacture and cannot be changed. If you have a large requirement, you can ask an LCD manufacturer to burn a custom font for you.

If you just need a few characters, then check - your LCD holds more than just the standard ASCII set, you may already have accented characters. You need to check the entire 255 character range of your LCD. These special characters will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model. So just because you have an accented character on one, does not guarantee it will be in the same place or even present on another.

The Hitachi compatible LCD's do have the ability to create a limited number of special characters which can be used... check...
