Using Nokia LCD

You might try something like this. The characters you show as an example could be simplified to fit into half the space, but this allows you to smooth the characters if you like. I did not smooth them, just kept to your example font, so hopefully you can see what I am trying to do. Each hex data point of the character is basically a binary image of the column. It starts at the base of the character, but since our character is going to take 4 character positions, our zero starts at half of the 16 pixels high. So the left column of the top of the zero is 11111100 (or $FC) all the 1's are black. As you can see, it takes a long time to make the characters. There may be a tool out there somewhere to make this easier for you. Hopefully you just need numbers!

The building of the characters are shown on the data sheet for the display on pages 8-9, and 22-23.

FA VAR BYTE[5] 'upper left of character
FB VAR BYTE[5] 'upper right of character
FC VAR BYTE[5] 'lower left of character
FD VAR BYTE[5] 'lower right of character

The attached program fastLCD.zip will help you with text, as well as graphics. It will let you create characters, and it will create hex for them.

Nice program, but I use already Excel (bin2hex) for those big characters...Unfortunately, I need to understand the codes You and HJota propose and modify all my code; the procedures for define and display the characters are different...Per aspera ad astra ...

I succeded to display "23.56" ! it's a step, don't ?!
Now, assuming that I succed to write the code for reading DS18B20, how display temperature instead "23.56" ?
It's correct so : " lookup i, [temperature DIG 3, temperature DIG 2, temperature DIG 1], j" or how ? Thanks !

How about changing from this:

for i=0 to 4
lookup i,["23.56"],j
lcdstr(i)=j
next i

to something like this:

lcdstr(4) = 48 + temperature dig 3
lcdstr(3) = 48 + temperature dig 2
lcdstr(2) = "."
lcdstr(1) = 48 + temperature dig 1
lcdstr(0) = 48 + temperature dig 0

You would have to do something when your temperature goes to single digits though.

What I put here ?

lcdstr(4) = 48 + temperature dig 3
lcdstr(3) = 48 + temperature dig 2
lcdstr(2) = "."
lcdstr(1) = 48 + temperature dig 1
lcdstr(0) = 48 + temperature dig 0

Tc=2
for i=0 to 4
lookup i,["??????"],j
lcdstr(i)=j
next i
nC=5

lcdstr(4) = 48 + temperature dig 3
lcdstr(3) = 48 + temperature dig 2
lcdstr(2) = "."
lcdstr(1) = 48 + temperature dig 1
lcdstr(0) = 48 + temperature dig 0

Tc=2
for i=0 to 4
lookup i,["??????"],j
lcdstr(i)=j
next i
nC=5

remove the for i = loop. The code above will load the values in the lcdstr string.
