Hi,

ConnectEVE (FT800) can display a character only up to 127 (End Char: 127).
It is a limitation of the very chip.

Please, take a look at the FT800 Datasheet:

Hi Marina,

Thank you for your reply,

Is there no work around? Without trying to add the required character set within 127 character spaces?

Just a small correction. FT800 will display first 128 characters in the exported font. Do you want the characters to be keyboard mapped or you just need a way to display them?

Hi aCKo

No need for it to me mapped to the keyboard just need display some of the extended character set.

I have temperately put that problem to one side as I have some HMI issues.

I am using a several (4) windows fonts and my understanding of the Mikro C generated code. Is that every time it writes a text that is not a system font it exports the font from the external memory and writes this to the controller EVERY TIME.

My understanding of the FT800 controller is that you can load a custom (windows) font to its G-RAM and the access it as you would a system font

This is where I am having problems in trying to load the Font into the G-RAM and accessing it.

Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.

My question is mainly addressed to the SW developer and relies to GLCD font generator, precisely to Central Europe fonts - the upper half of the table (128 - 255) which mainly characterizes specific letters of this part of Europe (covered by ISO-8859-2) generated by GLCD is the same as for standard Western (ISO-8859-1). So as, it seems that there are not differences between them.

Kind regards
