Font generation #10

Closed volthouse closed 1 year ago

volthouse commented 1 year ago

Hello, with which tool can you generate your own fonts or convert free fonts?

davidkreidler commented 1 year ago

Hey @volthouse thanks for reaching out. Its a bit more involved.

First, you can use the the template https://github.com/davidkreidler/OpenCO2_Sensor/blob/main/font/bahn.indd to insert your own font in the right size (3 times). image

Then export it as png and use https://github.com/ayoy/font2bytes to convert it to binary. ./f2b -h 70 -w 47 bahn.png > bahn_big.cpp ./f2b -h 44 -w 29 bahn2.png > bahn_mid.cpp ./f2b -h 22 -w 13 bahn3.png > bahn_sml.cpp

Then import the result into you Arduino\libraries folder esp32-waveshare-epd\src\bahn*.cpp (it needs to be tweaked slightly).

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your reply, I apologise for my late reply, I have only just started working on my project again.

I am not familiar with INDD files, is it correct that it is an Adobe InDesign file format? Do I need Adobe software for this?

Many thanks for your help!

Yes the format is Adobe InDesign. You can also use any other Grafik Programm to create the Images for your font in the right format for https://github.com/ayoy/font2bytes .
