Display graphical font using Nokia3310LCD

[mister_e]

You'll see a J once you'll add it in the character you want to use.... no coincidence why you don't have the H nor the W either

Again it's all explained in the Readme.txt file...

I'm trying to display a 10x11 font size "w" but not displaying right to the lcd...(sorry if I'm very slow catching up )

Finally got it...thanks for the help.

Way cool

Thanks and Enjoy!

Hi Tacbanon,

Did you manage to create bigger fonts with Steve's program?

I see your last post shows the display with obvious different font but still within the 6x8 field. How does one make a larger font exceeding this area?

I'd appreciate your help and maybe a snippet of code if you've been successful. My aim is to make really big fonts (0-9, +, -, decimal point mid-height, C, F and degree symbol) in a 12x16 or 4 normal character size locations (7 chars per line, 3 lines) on the Nokia LCD using Steve's excellent wrapper. If it can't be done I can do other mapping but then lose Mister_e's utility.

Steve if you're around perhaps you'd like to add some comments also? All help appreciated.

Regards to all,
Bill
