Hi @feendrache --
Can you confirm an example of a font that you are trying to use? (ie. is it included within the TFT_eSPI/Fonts/GFXFF directory?)
If so, can you confirm that the GUIslice example ex04 works using the TFT_eSPI freefonts? (we would like to test it first without the Builder)
/examples/arduino/ex04_ard_ctrls.ino
#define USE_EXTRA_FONTS
lineFreeSansBold12pt7b
)thanks
Yeah that'S working just fine
If you are seeing ex04
work fine with TFT_eSPI custom fonts then the problem is likely that the Builder is not set to TFT_eSPI output mode. The TFT_eSPI display library handles fonts differently from other libraries, so the Builder needs to be in a special mode to generate the correct font initialization.
Please check the setting in the Builder's Edit -> Options -> Target Platform; it should be set to arduino TFT_eSPI
. Does this help?
I'm not sure if we documented this visibly so perhaps a wiki documentation update might be necessary.
Closing as I expect that the above Builder option will address the original issue.
