Crate bitmap_font

Expand description

bitmap-font 0.1 works with embedded-graphics 0.6! Version 0.7 includes a lot of changes to the font/text rendering system, including the introduction of the MonoFont type that is similar to the BitmapFont type from this crate. However, it seems to be impossible to use pixel-double versions of the fonts included in eg 0.7, so it does not offer all functionality of this crate.

This crate provides bitmap fonts for the embedded-graphics crate without requiring generics. All fonts provided are concrete, constant instances of BitmapFont. This means you can use these bitmap fonts without any generics, unlike those fonts shipped with embedded-graphics where each font is implemented via its own struct. Also, this allows pixel-double fonts to share their bitmap data with the non-doubled font, reducing the flash size required.

Usage Example

use bitmap_font::{BitmapFont, WithFont, FONT_7x13};
use embedded_graphics::{fonts::Text, prelude::*};

let font: BitmapFont = FONT_7x13;
let text = Text::new("Hello World!", Point::zero());
text.with_font(font, BinaryColor::On).draw(&mut display)?;
