Re: SSD1322 Display Component Fonts

There is no wasted ROM space? That's a major benefit. Also being able to to use a subset of the full font set in the input string is good. If we can get an easy way to spit the files out and parse them as and when that would be the icing on the cake. If there isn't an easy way, at least it looks lik...

Re: SSD1322 Display Component Fonts

Sorry about your issues. It looks like your previous reminder from last month was missed. I have asked for someone to look into it if possible. On a more general note, Matrix staff and our excellent VCs on this forum sometimes find it difficult to find the balance between doing bespoke for a user's...

Re: SSD1322 Display Component Fonts

Any prospective purchaser of Flowcode wondering about the Matrix support for this product has the answer right here. Thread started on January 10th and today is February 20th and all responses have dried up. As a full paid up user for several years having spent nearly £1000 on Matrix products I lite...

Re: SSD1322 Display Component Fonts

Hello Ben I've started the font creation process over the weekend but having read up more on the problems with font rendering on the GLCDs due to byte overflows where the bitmap is not an exact multiple of 8 bits causing the remainder bits position to be added incorrectly in the header files I thoug...

Re: SSD1322 Display Component Fonts

Ben Many thanks for the bitbucket arduino font creator link. That is a valuable utility. I have a TTF custom windows font that emulates a certain display mode and I was struggling to find a utility that could convert the characters correctly without adding rendering errors. Although it will take a b...

Re: SSD1322 Display Component Fonts

Hello Ben Apologies for the delay in responding. Yes, I have reviewed the font component source code this morning and I am sort of getting the gist of it but I think the easiest way of getting to grips with it is to send the font I'm interested in as you suggested and then see if you can document th...

Re: SSD1322 Display Component Fonts

Right so each font can be a class or group or set (whichever teminology suits) of ascii characters. I'm I correct that the font generator (are we talking about the Mikroelektronica generator?) produces a bitmap of a single ascii character, So how do we combine all individual bitmaps in to one rom ar...
