How would i go by making and uploading a font where i can display a character or number in 2 rows instead of just showing up only in 1 row? So , basically i need to make a large font where e.g "A" or "1" would show up on the display in 2 rows of matrix besides just normal font where it would only show up in 1 row of matrix.
I tried using microproject to upload a font i found here: http://www.lcdforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3616
but microproject wont let me upload the .mgf file and it gives me an error.

Thats not possible, the LCD2041 is a character mode lcd so it's limited to the standard font thats inside the controller chip. You are allowed to define up to 8 custom characters so in theory you could be able to define 4 double line characters but thats about the best you can do on this model.
The mgf file you downloaded is for the GLK/C series displays those are fully graphic and allow for custom fonts of any size.
