To generate code for ., /, and 0-9 you can use:

./fontconvert /usr/local/share/fonts/webfonts/comic.ttf 20 46 57 > comic1.h

To generate the same code using the new command line syntax use:

./fontconvert /usr/local/share/fonts/webfonts/comic.ttf 20 \
    46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 > comic2.h

To generate code for just . and 0-9, use:

./fontconvert /usr/local/share/fonts/webfonts/comic.ttf 20 \
    46 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 comic3.h

This saves ~70 bytes of flash:
