Sorry if I have come to the wrong group. I am searching for information on why a font would work with some code that already exists and what if the best way to visualise this. Tried a number of softwares and sites but none provide the array that I'm looking for.

  1. What sizes are commonly the best way to go?
  2. I have tried this font http://www.suwa-koubou.jp/micom/NtpClock/source/font16x24.h

It works in my application, but I am looking for the next sizes up that would work. Is there an EXCEL sheet that would work, Or one that I can input the array and view the result?

I need it for my project.

I found a 16x24 font that can replace the one above ------ http://www.longlandclan.yi.org/~stuartl/stm32f10x_stdperiph_lib_um/fonts_8c_source.html

But it is smaller.

Can you help?

    You ask for font , but your file isnt font , but only some characters here numbers as bitmap sprites.

    Good and alpha aliased font you can generate with TouchGFX, but you need write own implementation, when use on small flash footprint MCUs.

    On MCU with bigger flash i recommend use TouchGFX .

    Or exist other sw utilities for work with fonts for example Pixel Font Maker for emWin, another emWin font converter. Free download to try. (pixfonter.net)

    After more hours of research I think the penny has now dropped and I have to write code for the TFT that allows the display of the pixels in that space. Is there a code sample that I can use?

    Thank you. The .h file and the other link shows that the font information work with existing code. I was researching what the next sizes would be and how I can use the array to test the font or a software will provide an array as shown in the .jp site.
