Hello,

The GUI lib from ST has few fonts included, where the biggest is 16x24 (GL_ASCII16x24_Table). Does anyone maybe have bigger ? Even it is kinda big, it is still too small for my purpose. Or maybe there is application that generates those fonts ? I was not able to find one. Thank  you. BR, Chris

Although there may be others, I only know of

http://www.mikroe.com/glcd-font-creator/

. This software is suppose to ''create fonts and symbols from scratch or by importing existing fonts on your system.'' I can't testify to it's ability, as I have never used it.It's tailored to their compilers and apparently uses their XGLCD library, so I'm not sure what it may output if you're not using their compiler software, if anything. Also, you'll have to update/tweak the font drawing code, as most I've seen are only designed to work with fonts up to 24x16.regards,MAJ

Thanks. I think i have tried that one and the result font was not compatible with the ST

library. And i didn't dig deep to see the differences or use their library. Anyway i just need the digits 0-9 in large font, i might do it by hand in WinHex. BR

Hello,

Does anyone have bigger fonts than the 16x24 one ? I tried creating fonts with MikroElectronica GLCD Font Creator and the generated font is not compatible with ST library. Does anyone has already coded a bigger font than 16x24, compatible with ST library ?BR, Julien

Probably because such data would get stupidly large, really quickly, consider if can just zoom (2x, 3x, 4x, ..) the bit map data you have, or understand the format enough to source a font application that does what you want.
