SSD1306 INCLUDE for PBP3

[richard]

Yes any font can be created in fixed or variable width

[Ioannis]

OK, thanks.

Will order then a few to play with.

How are fonts or special symbols to be designed for SSD1306?

I could not figure out studying the font7x5 include files.

As I posted above I need to design some chess pieces and 5x7 is not enough space.

use ssd1306 code from here , it can use variable width fonts that do not have to be hand coded
makes life easy

i have a ver that can do bmp like images too if interested

Thank you very much. Your support and help is beyond words.

The selection of pixel columns and lines is really slow process. Seems you cannot numerically define lines and columns. Just adding one at a time waiting to complete.

Then, what are your settings for export?

Be blessed,
Ioannis

[richard]

step 1 create a font

step 2 edit it to taste

step 3 create blank include file
and export

step 4 paste export in suitable format into include


do some editing to get it to pbp format
remembering never allow a odd number of bytes on a line
never change order or number of data bytes to encode
