Using font with different height cause issues with the line height

[dhysuiej]

I'm using U8x8lib with the Arduino Menu library. Everything was being printed properly on the screen but then I decided to use a bigger font but it seems the line height is not being adjusted properly.

I switched from u8x8_font_amstrad_cpc_extended_f to u8x8_font_8x13_1x2_r like so:

display.setFont(u8x8_font_8x13_1x2_r);

And I'm using setCursor and print so show text on the screen:

o.setCursor(0, 0);
o.print("Temp: ");
o.print(input, 0);
o.print("/");
o.print(setPoint, 0);
o.print("\xb0" "C");

o.setCursor(0, 1);
o.print("Heat: ");
o.print(heat == HIGH ? "On" : "Off");

o.setCursor(0, 2);
o.print("Speed: ");
o.print(speed);
o.print("%");

o.setCursor(0, 3);
o.print("Motor: ");
o.print(motor == HIGH ? "On" : "Off");

Looks more like an issue with ArduinoMenu. Maybe it helps to print an extra linebreak in your code.

Thanks for the quick reply @olikraus.

It looks like someone was having a similar issue and they solved it by subclassing the display driver and using a column multiplier from setCursor.

I was thinking perhaps it was the display driver, in my case U8x8lib, the one that should figure out the font height and adjust the line height accordingly.
