The font looks good - like the standard HD44780 font, which will be nice for consistency. As I mentioned it previously - a BDF font rendering library in LCDproc would be nice. I would be happy to help. Is there a reason why aren't you using the 0-31 characters in the top row of the font? Also, I recall in my testing that a full height horizontally extending bar looked too tall, which is why we only included a shorter version. --Eric On Mar 20, 2011, at 1:15 AM, Yura Scheglyuk wrote: > Hi! > > On 20.03.2011 5:08, Markus Dolze wrote: > >> currently we have a few drivers that support graphical displays. >> For these typically a font is needed.
