Characters are not pixels, so no, I'm not setting a constraing on the
pixel size.  I *am* arbitrarily excluding text terminals with graphic
character sets.  Its not graphics in any sense that a practitioner of
computer graphics would call it.  If it were, bitmapped based displays

Since I'm the one asking the question, I get to decide what the
question means.  This isn't the floor of the US House of
Representatives.
