3x4 small fonts routine with more features?

DJ_O

maybe you should do a ASM small font routine but for 3x4 fonts. I know it would be hard to have "0123456789!?:," chars in 3x3 maybe in 3x4 it would be doable

maybe the font routine should have an option to not update the LCD everytime and AND and OR logic so it allow more possibilities as well and if you want to make the text move it wont flicker

AND and OR? I think I could manage that. Lemme design the font set first.

Edit: feedback please:

The only thing I noticed is the 'j' is the same as ';'. Any characters I missed in that set?

Ah ok, you had me worried there. Yeah, it's looking like I'll be able to do this tomorrow.

I made a 3x4 font for my instant messanger thing Smile

It looks almost identical to that one. I guess with that few pixels it should look similar Laughing

I see you did a better job then me diferentiating between H and W. Mine were the same...Good job, I like it Smile

That program would be very useful. For one thing, no complicated algorithms to check the length of the text on the screen, just multiply the length by 4. Smile

So have you made it yet, Kerm?

I believe this is already a feature of the DCS GUI text routines or something like that.

True, but I could modify it in not very long for 3x4 with numbers. Or, you could wait for DCS6 with selectable fontsets.

Keep in mind that's for ASM programs though. I might even make custom fontsets available. The difference is that selectable ones are embedded in DCS, whereas custom ones are contained within the program being run.

Is DCS going to have extra features/routines for Basic programs?
