Larger than 5x7 fonts
PostPosted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 3:44 pm     Reply with quote
Hello,

I'm looking for a table of fonts in 'c' that is larger than 5x7. The 5x7 font is a little small on my LCD, and I don't want to double the size (to big, and to ugly). I also don't know what the next standard sizes would be? 8x8?

I'm looking for a table in a similar format (from CCS libraries):

Code:

const BYTE TEXT2[51][5] ={0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, // SPACE
                         0x00, 0x00, 0x5F, 0x00, 0x00, // !
                         0x00, 0x03, 0x00, 0x03, 0x00, // "
                         0x14, 0x3E, 0x14, 0x3E, 0x14, // #
                         ...
                         0x7F, 0x09, 0x09, 0x09, 0x06, // P
                         0x1E, 0x21, 0x21, 0x21, 0x5E, // Q
                         0x7F, 0x09, 0x09, 0x09, 0x76};// R


Has anyone found something like this in CCS libraries or on the Net?

Thanks,

Benjamin.

Microchip's App Lib has a free font tool too.

It's Java based now and allows creating font files from installed Windows Fonts.

Thanks!
I've downloaded both Microchip's App Lib and the GLCD Font Creator.
I've started with the Font Creator and really like it, especially it's flexibility and the ability to import system fonts.

These will be very usefull.

Thanks again!

Benjamin
