GLCD Smaller Font

Hey All,

I've been working with a graphical LCD and tinkering with the GLCD.c driver. Is anyone familar with a smaller font (like 3x5 or 4x6) that can be easily integrated with the GLCD driver? Thanks for any and all help, I greatly appreciate it!

You could use a program called fontgen
look at my post at the bottom of this link

it can also convert a bmp,jpg to a graphic you can inport into your program.

I actually just whipped up my own font based upon the format presented here: http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/ee476/video/Video32v2.c It is a drop in replacement for glcd_text57 called glcd_text35 and uses a 3x5 font (although I removed the resizing capability because physical size was more important to me).
