Font rendering

#1 Post by timbobazza » 03 Mar 2015 16:55

I'm trying to get a Windows application to display text in the same way as my LCD display. I've used FontCreator to create the fonts for my LCD. For characters in the range 32 - 127, I can use SingleBitPerPixelFitGrid to get the exact same bit pattern as FontCreator. However, for Japanese characters the FontCreator rendering is much thinner and easier to read than any I can get with Windows. I have noticed however that Notepad renders the font the same as FontCreator, so you must be using a standard setting. Please could you tell me how you render the fonts? See attached image for an example of what I mean.

Thanks
Tim

Hi,

We render the fonts according to the Microchip's Graphics Library, see this document :
