Is there any way to uplaod *.fon font files to the GLK displays? If so what is the best way? I don't think MOGD# will do this. If not then I suggest that this feature be implemented in the next version of it.

Hello DougCube,

Thank you for your post.

The font file that we use when uploading fonts to our graphical display is a proprietory file format. Here are samples of our .mfg font files.

I am not aware of the *.fon file and what it contains, but here is the format of the .mgf file:
Byte 00-19 Font Name
Byte 20 Font Width
Byte 21 Font Height
Byte 22 Start Character
Byte 23 End Character
And this file is accompanied by a folder with the same name that contains a bunch of .bmp files that define the character/glyph.

Thanks,
