Crate bitmap_font

This crate provides bitmap fonts for the embedded-graphics crate. Those don’t only look better than the built-in fonts by using the good-looking Tamzen font over a font that renders . like a +, but also allow scaling fonts by pixel-doubling them, giving you two font sizes for the flash size requirements of the smaller one.

See the tamzen module for a list of all included fonts.

Usage

use bitmap_font::{tamzen::FONT_8x15, BitmapFont, TextStyle};
use embedded_graphics::{pixelcolor::BinaryColor, prelude::*, text::Text};

// Draw text 'Hello World!' with the top left corner being the origin
let text = Text::new("Hello World!", Point::zero(), TextStyle::new(&FONT_8x15, BinaryColor::On));
text.draw(&mut display)?;

Modules

tamzen

Tamzen font-based bitmap fonts. The included glyphs are a subset of ISO 8859-1 plus the unicode powerline symbols. Additional symbols might be added in the future. If you are missing a glyph that is included in the Tamzen font, please open an issue.

Structs

BitmapFont

Stores the font bitmap and some additional info for each font.

TextStyle

The equivalent of MonoTextStyle for BitmapFont.
