Port BDF font support #7

Closed TrevorSayre closed 8 years ago

TrevorSayre commented 8 years ago

At the moment it's a pain to write text. The external library used by this project supports drawing text with included BDF files.

I think it's not the job to the ledmatrix library to write text. It's too specific. I guess it's to a specific library to implement this functionality (transform text to something drawable).

I'm working on a functions to draw and scroll "pictures" (pixels buffer with width and height). So, when this functionnalities will be available, you can easily draw pictures or text pictures generated by third-parties library (like a text to pixels library).
