I'm a noob.. storing a font in arduino

i can't believe got far fast...

i got few of these cheap displays... , using theory based @ link, able control it.. (on first freaking try even)
http://www.robotroom.com/multisegmentleddisplay.html

so issue, top 7 items 14 segment displays. hand calculated , googled find:
http://www.ee.ualberta.ca/~elliott/ee552/studentappnotes/2001_w/interfacing/alphanumeric_led/

that has characters need. question is, how store in arduino code? i've searched around trying find code saves font on chip.. haven't found much...

i'm more of perl/php/ruby guy.. how 1 make proper hash in c?

many thanks...

here fragment hope started. off top of head , needs work trust going in right direction


#define nbr_segments 14    // each array element has bit indicating state of 14 segments

unsigned int letters[] = {0b11101100100010,0b00111100000000,... };  // fonts 'a' 'z'
unsigned int numbers[] = {0b11111100010001,... };   //numbers 0 9

void showletters(char character){

int index =  toupper(character) - 'a';  // convert upper case , offset start of array
 for( int i=0, unsigned int bit = 1; < nbr_segments; ++, bit <<= 1)  //shift through 14 bits
    if( letters[index] & bit )           // light segement if bit in array 1
       // code turn on segment    
}
