But the width is defined as well then – it's simply 15 times the character width.

OK, I hadn't noticed this before. I see you simply filled the display with a uniform color – that's a good idea, so I also did this with my HP67 image and there is no need to insert a display from another image. The text background color is set to the same RGB value so it seamlessly blends into the surrounding display.

BTW, if you prefer an HP67 with dot matrix display, simply use the "HP 82143 Char Set" font that is also included in Luiz' font package. Use a somewhat (+30%) larger font size and everything works fine – even the period that takes a full character width.

One thing that could still be improved is the mode setting after loading a file. It still takes clicking on a calculator button before the display is set according to the MODE section.
