Hello,  
I would like to know if there is a conversion script or a conbtrib node to reproduce LCD20x4-I2C visual content on dashboard, using the same function that I use to run the physical LCD screen.

```auto
msg.payload = {
	msgs:[
		{
			msg: "Nanay: " + String(global.get("NanayTemp")) + " C",
			pos:1,
			center: false
		},
		{
			msg: "Putumayo: " + String(global.get("PutumayoTemp")) + " C",
			pos:1,
			center: false
		},
		{
			msg: "Uatuma: " + String(global.get("UatumaTemp")) + " C",
			pos:1,
			center: false
		},
		{
			msg: "Amazon: " + String(global.get("AmazonTemp")) + " C",
			pos:1,
			center: false
		}
	]
};
return msg;

```

You might find some ideas in [this discussion](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-would-you-style-this-dashboard/56793) about train departures boards, including an LCD style font.
