This seem simple but can't find it anywhere.
Anyone knows where I can find a raster font array for drawing fonts
on a graphical LCD? I can sit down and do every character but I am
sure it is already done a million times!
where to find a font array for graphical LCD

That would be perfect. Do you mind adding it to the file section on
this forum or email it to me? I need the C version if possible of 5x7
Thanks in advance

If I may advertise a little project of mine...
I had the very same problem a while back, and to make things worse I needed a
rather uncommon font-size. So instead of drawing them by hand I created a
little C-program to do that for me. It reads a 1bpp BMP image and creates a
font in C-arrays.
I placed it on my website a while back as part of fGUI, a little b/w graphics
thingy for microcontrollers, see http://bas.woodpecker.gotdns.org/fGUI.php
In the tools directory of the fGUI download, there's a bmpfont.c file, which
accepts a 1bpp BMP file (see
http://bas.woodpecker.gotdns.org/files/fGUI-font-example.bmp for an example,
use the '-r' flag whit bmpfont for thisone). It's written for GCC on Linux.
It's really all in a 'works-for-me' state, but it might do the trick for
you..

In the file section, look in to GRLCD and GLCD_T6963.
You will find many fonts in header file format.

I have some, 5x7 and 7x8 (IIRC), both as C and ASM array...

there's a font tool posted in the link, can generate font array off
any system fonts, targeted for t6963c tho,but has sort of LCD sim.

Hi
May i suggest this free tool for this job? Ive done
every kind of customized fonts and logos with that.
Saves a lot of time. Oh, it converts the windows fonts
to bitmaps and spits the .h
