GLCD Graphical Display Fonts

[medelec35]

Graphical displays have the total amounts of fonts you can add, increased from 4 to 8.
It is easy to add your own custom fonts, and is useful, since now you can add up to 8 in total.
Just follow the step by step guide on the Wiki
You will only be able add ttf fonts but, I have found there are free fonts e.g. seven and fourteen segment that you can add to windows, and you will also be able to install them.
If you get stuck, then you can ask for help in this thread.
New fonts are being adding to Flowocde which will also include the degrees symbol °
If there are any new common fonts you want added, then please let me know the font and size and I will look into adding it, as it will look better than if using the scaler.
I will be using the custom fonts form now in my projects since it does not take long at all.

One thing I should mention is with the app on the link, the font size is in pt which is not the same size in pixels.
If you want a font which is a pixel size and not pt then as a rough guide
1 pixel (px) is approx. 1/96th of an inch
1 point (pt) is approx. 1/72nd of an inch.
Working out the ratio you can use

Code: Select all

pt to select =72/96* Required px

If you open the Dot Factory in with Administrator mode, then within configuration settings, you can add a name e.g Flowcode fonts then after applying, every time you open the Dot Factory and it will have the Flowocde fonts setting automatically loaded.
