I am trying to convert a tff to a new Ree font. I downloaded the tff font Converted to PNM using an online converter ( maybe not a good idea) If I try to run the your application I receive the error "Error: Need w and h in pbm file. Got 0 params. (0 0)" Is there a tutorial for generating a custom font?

I found a way to convert a tff using GLCD Font Creator in windows xp compatibility mode

I created the rre font with GLCD, but how to use it? The display doesn't show the font

There are 3 modes to convert to RRE header. I suggest to use bitmap in PBM format. Use irfanview to convert other formats. PBM file should be B&W, 1-bit. The file should contain 16x6 or 32x3 characters (96 characters mode), 16x8 (128 characters) or 1 line for digits. If you want to use GLCD font creator start it as an admin to make sure it will save anything, then create your font in .lcd file It is possible to convert .lcd directly: rrefontgen times.lcd Times32x64 Regards

I've already done it. I create the file with the code generated in cmd and all compile corrected in arduino, but the display doesn't show the font, it seems like all the digits are blank.
