S1D13700 fonts

[Vineyards]

The new Epson library is good but the current font support leaves much the desire. There is a freeware library supporting MikroPascal and MikroBasic but there seems to be no support for MikroC. With this library, it seems it is possible to import and use all windows fonts and not only that different types and sizes of them all at once by issueing a font selection command at the beginning of a text_write function. Can we expect something similar for MikroC? With the current default font, text appears very small. There is no way it can be used as the way it is intended -a touch button driven menu system.

Hello Losic,
I am using 320x240 GLCD with RA8835 (S1D13700). Can I add a font to my Project?

Hi,

You can use the system fonts which have up to 255 characters, you can also add font in there and the VGLCD will pick them up.

Hi dear Jonanovic,
I mean, I want to add font from Windows font library. for ex big fonts. but for 320x240 glcd with S1D13700 controller. can i do it and how?

[aleksa.jovanovic]

The VGLCD automatically uses the system fonts up to 255 characters.
You can generate your own fonts using GLCD font creator.

Hi,

You can use GLCD font creator, you can download it from this link:

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


Then, click on the New Font Project icon -> Import An Existing System Font. Choose whatever font and size you want. After that click on Export for GLCD icon and choose compiler you are using, then copy the .c file of that font and paste it in
_Lib_GlcdFonts.c ( _Lib_GlcdFonts.c can be founded in folder where your compiler was installed in folder name Uses). After that you can use font you have just added.

Best regards

Hello dear Lana,
Unfortunately your program could not work correct. firstly, your program gave an error about font file. i added font file from your previous post. after that i compiled successfuly. but there is no any image on GLCD. i can write something with mikrobasic own font and i can show bitmap image files same GLCD . there is no any fault about hardware and software. please can you check your codes again? i am waiting your reply..

Hello,

I'm sorry for inconvenience caused by this issue. Here is the whole project (with font file, sorry for not adding it in previous post).

And yes, I've tried it shows text in Calibri font, size 20, like you wanted. Look at the image bellow.

If there is no image on the screen, set contrast with GLCD potentiometer at the board. If you still have a problem I'll suggest you to submit a ticket.
