In regards to the various 469I-Discovery LCD examples, it seems the font files were created from Courier New. I assume there is a tool or easy method for creating new fonts. How do you create new (larger) fonts?

I seem to recall a Segger tool that could harvest specific characters from the local machine's TrueType font library. It should be easy enough to locate, or I can dig through my seminar files.

Yes, I found Segger's emWin Font Converter, but it is $2200, and not a viable option for my project.

TheDotFactory converter works and it is free.
