External fonts in eGUI 3

[friederschrempf]

I can't figure out how to load fonts in eGui 3 from an external file. I have external bitmaps working and I found the D4D_DECLARE_FONT_FILE makro but I can't find any information on how the font files have to look like and how to generate them.

Can someone help me out, please?

Thank you!

Hi Petr !

Do you know if there's a release available now ?

Thanks Petr !

Hi,

The data looks fine, it must be checked in debugger.

Please try this package.

Best regards

Thank you Petr for your reply!

Is there some kind of beta version available? Or maybe at least a specification for the file format of the font files?

Hi,

somebody probably kill me (unofficial upload), but there is snapshot of my collegue work:

Re: Sample code request eGui + TWR-K70 + TWR-LCD-RGB + MQX + CW

Take it as development snapshot - nothing more.

Thank you Petr for taking the risk! :smileywink:

I tried to load the generated font files, but there seams to be some kind of issue. I tried to debug it, but until now I only found that the header data is correctly written to the D4D_FONT_DESCRIPTOR struct, but the font data is not. I will try to investigate this further.
