Discussion - Software / Re: Screen Editor - how to create Font Metric Block
« on: November 05, 2018, 10:11:39 PM »
Hello,
OK, we seem to be going around in circles here. So I'll state my issue a different way:
I wish to add a custom font, and it must be generated in compressed form because I have limited flash memory on my microcontroller to store it.
If I use ESE with the compressed option, then use INFLATE when loading RAMG, it does not work. The characters on the screen look like random bitmaps.
On the other hand, if I use FNT_CVT, this does indeed work, but FNT_CVT does not have a "compressed" option.
Therefore, I either need to figure out why ESE is not producing valid compressed data, or I need to find
a way to compress the output of FNT_CVT.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Tony
