You can throw out a string of them and they can be very detailed with very little visible drawing. Most graphics done with DRAW (or SHAPE on the Apple II) look "liney" or "vectory". Redefinable Graphics can have as much solid detail that you can stack in an 8x8 (or whatever the MM matrix is) character and then they can be joined together and displayed fast. I'd assume you would have to relocate the character set matrix into Program RAM rather than firmware RAM? Maybe keep the standard ASCII still in Firmware RAM and have 128-255 in Program RAM?
