Converting fonts to GLCD Font Creator format

#1 Post by kdv » 31 Mar 2019 20:10

Hi.
Sometimes you have a font in compiled format, as a C array, and would like to have the font in source format, to read and edit the font with GLCD Font Editor. This is a small program which converts Adafruit GFX and U8g2lib fonts to GLCD Font Creator format. It's an Arduino sketch that writes the font to the serial port. You capture the serial output in a .lcd file and read the .lcd file in GLCD Font Creator.

Also a small suggestion: How about adding a "Print" to GLCD Font Creator's File menu which prints all characters of a font like in this pdf?
