Re: glcd font size incorrect
thanks for testing that martin, your picture results are same as mine, but that doesnt match what the font is explained as or what the simi screen shows, i could have sworn i had the true font #3, last night i mapped everything out with the simulator then wanted to conferm on hardware which is why im posting

here's what i mean, this simi results for test are in the upper right corner of picture, the simi matches the description in help file, i take it the simulation is generic among all lcd types, in reality it should be listed as small,small bold, medium,large

matrix, could you modify the simi to reflect this?
Code: Select all
Selects one of internal fonts. The supplied 3 fonts are:
00
hex : 5x7 small size font set
01
hex : 8x8 medium size font set
02
hex : 8x12 large size font set
03
hex : 12x16 largest size font set

Re: glcd font size incorrect
Hello,
Yes the current gLCD sim is fairly generic and always draws the text a certain way. I think the actual font data can be changed which will update the sim but you will still get font sizes of 5x7, 5x14, 10x14 and 10x7 and which isn't correct. I'm currently working on the v6 gLCD simulation which will be fixed to correctly display text on all the display types.
For now is it possible for you to use the display itself when testing out text sizes on the 4D displays? There is also a 4D layout manager to help you design your GUI.
