Hi Mr Zeller I have a 32x64 led matrix and even after resizing and converting the fonts using otf2bdf, i can't seen to get it to display corectly I was wondering how can I fix this since i have tried lots if different methods and nothig seems to work. sudo runtext.py --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat --led-rows=64 --led-cols=32 --led-chain=2 -t "THIS MESSAGE!"

so if the font is too small, did you try to create it larger with otf2bdf ?

rijotech commented 5 years ago

Yes I did increased the fonts size but instead of displaying from the bottom it does display from the same position as if it was a regular font. There is any switch to center the scroll text?

hzeller commented 5 years ago

Just change the y-position when drawing the font. This is an example code for you to get started with; the example uses 10 as position.
