Create my own font

Hi all,

I'd like to use this kind of figures (each cell on the screenshot means a pixel) :



to write numbers.

I was thinking to consider every figure as a bitmap, to display then with drawBitmap, but I think it will be a little long to display numbers. Indeed, I'll have to parse numbers to see which figures it contains and then display the correct ones.
So I wanted to use the print method, but it means that I can change the font used.

Is it possible to create a font and then use it ?

Thanks.

The font files are located in the library itself, they're changeable, but I'm not sure if switching on the fly is possible. I know it was discussed, not seeing any font functions currently in the reference

... And I included a font editor in the "utilities" folder on GitHub, along with the default fonts. But your font is pretty close the the default one!

Thank you :) I didn't see there was a font editor, it's great ! And I didn't know about the two default fonts. The small one seems to be perfect :)

I just saw the last update of the indiegogo campaign ;) rodot always on top 8-)

Hehe, you're welcome :D

I'm sorry, but I can't find the font editor. In the changelog for the main repo you're saying in 2014 that the font editor and emulator are going to get their own repositories, but I'm unable to find those.

You can fin all the emulators on the Emulators page of the wiki.
But you're right about the font encoder, I didn't put it online, I'm doing it right away.

I still can't find it. Have you put it online already?

Here it is! The font editor comes for the glcd-arduino project and requires java to run.

Many thanks!
