Graphic LCD + fonts

I'm trying to decide which display I should order, but I'm not sure which one would be the right one.

These are my alternatives: GLK12232-25 (Graphic LCD) and LK204-25 (Char LCD)

How do I display the text on the graphical LCD? Do I have to create any bitmaps for getting a text on the display, or do I upload a char-map to the displays memory, and call each char in the same way as in the char-LCD?

In other words: Can I build a custom character-map and replace each cells character as displayed in <a href="http://www.lcdforums.com/forums/viewtop ... &forum=2&4" target="_new">This</a> matrix?

The graphic LCDs have fonts that you upload to them where as the Alpha Numeric ones have a character set built dirrectly into them. When you get a graphic LCD we upload 2 fonts by default but they can be replaced by others... to send text to the graphic, just send text, nothing special really.
