Hi

Thank you for using this library. Unfortunately the symbol ° is in extended part of ASCII table and isn't included to ssd1306xled_font6x8 font. You need to create new font, please refer to https://github.com/lexus2k/ssd1306/wiki/How-to-create-new-font-for-the-library Let me know if you still have any questions.

Hi @dojo90 , Have you succeeded in solving the issue? Let me know.

Thank you

If you're looking for a quick 'n dirty solution, you can:

  1. make a copy of ssd1306xled_font6x8
  2. replace a character you're not using, eg ', with the bitmap for °
  3. use your new font

Here's how it looks:

#include "ssd1306.h"

#define MY_FONT_6X8_LEN 581 // enough memory to hold a copy of ssd1306xled_font6x8
#define APOSTROPHE_IDX 46   // index of ' in ssd1306xled_font6x8

static uint8_t my_font_6x8[MY_FONT_6X8_LEN];

static void initialize_my_font_6x8(void)
{
    uint8_t my_bitmap[] = {0x00, 0x00, 0x06, 0x06, 0x00, 0x00}; // bitmap for °
    memcpy(my_font_6x8, ssd1306xled_font6x8, MY_FONT_6X8_LEN);
    for (size_t i = APOSTROPHE_IDX, j = 0; j < sizeof(my_bitmap); i++, j++)
    {
        my_font_6x8[i] = my_bitmap[j];
    }
}

void setup()
{
    initialize_my_font_6x8();
    ssd1306_setFixedFont(my_font_6x8);

    ssd1306_128x32_i2c_init();    
    ssd1306_clearScreen();
    ssd1306_drawHLine(10 , 2, 118);
    ssd1306_drawHLine(10 , 30, 118);

    // each time you use ', the character ° will be displayed
    ssd1306_printFixed  (0,  8, "101'C", STYLE_NORMAL); 
}

void loop(){}

Thank you both for your help, Unfortunately I only got around to testing it now.

@dehre I like the quick/dirty version better, but it didn't work or I always had exceptions in the log.. I can't find any errors either.. Have you tested it yourself?

My solution was that I created a my_font_6x8.h file, included it to the project and used it:

extern const uint8_t my_font_6x8[] PROGMEM;
const uint8_t my_font_6x8[] PROGMEM =

Hi @dojo90, I tried the solution myself before posting and worked fine. However, it does the exact same thing as you did with your my_font_6x8.h file, that is, it makes a copy of the original font and replaces the "bad" character. So, if the extra header file doesn't bother you, I think you're fine already!
