Hi all!

I recently work a lot with the GLDC Ili9341 display (working great with FC8). Sometimes it is a little difficult to get an overview what size of font I have to choose when I have to write something in the display, depend on what I have to write in the display.
Therefor, I made a little helper program which show the size of the fontsize from size 1 - 31 Just run the simulation and you see how big the font is, or you can change the device for your purpose and compile to Chip. It might be possible to change for other GLDC display to.

Maybe usefull, anyway for me.
