Wordclock font (and webslider for colortemp) #134

Closed plotaBot closed 4 years ago

plotaBot commented 4 years ago

I wasn't happy with the font 'FreeSans' displaying text on the wordclock matrix (some letters were very ugly). So I sat down and developed a font, which perfectly fits the wordclock. All letters from A-Z, a-z, 0-9 are currently taylored to fit the wordclock. All the other characters are still from FreeSans. It also bothered me that the text was never at the same height. So I also fixed that the baseline of the font is fixed to the nineth row. Another thing slipped into this pull request is, that I added an webslider to select the color temperature... @bk1285 feel free to comment;)

Very nice, @plotaBot: Sounds promising!

... I'll give it a try on my clock...!

Best, Bernd

Very nice contribution, @plotaBot!

Indeed: The font looks significantly better and is better readable. The slider for color temperature is a nice feature as well.

Best, Bernd

PS: For future PRs, I'd welcome a slightly reduced number of commits (possibly squashing them?!?), to ideally add one new feature per commit. ;-)
