Here's another in a similar vein to my previous one (oh for the good  
old days...)

charset= {
   :h=> [130,130,130,254,134,134,134,0],
   :e=> [254,128,128,248,192,192,254,0],
   :l=> [128,128,128,192,192,192,254,0],
   :o=> [126,130,130,134,134,134,252,0],
   :w=> [130,130,130,150,150,150,108,0],
   :r=> [252,130,130,252,194,194,194,0],
   :d=> [252,130,130,194,194,194,252,0],
   :space=> [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]}

msg= [:h,:e,:l,:l,:o,:space,:w,:o,:r,:l,:d]

def to_pixels val
   val.to_s(2).rjust(8,'0').gsub('0',' ').gsub('1','X')
end

0.upto(7) do |line|
   msg.each do |ch|
     print to_pixels(charset[ch][line])
   end
   puts
end


Cheers,
Dave
