Need help creating and uploading a font
Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2007 2:32 pm
Can anyone give me a tip on how to go from graphic bit maps to a font that can be uploaded by MOGD#? In other words, I'd like to be able to create my own font from scratch.
I noticed that the fonts that you can download come with a folder full of bitmaps, each named by it's ASCII code. I'm not sure why these are included but I'd like to take a set of files like these (modified or created by me) and convert them to a font file that can be uploaded to the smart display.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice!!

P.S. Also, is there a manual for MOGD# that explains some of the font metrics such as "scroll start," etc. ? Thanks again.
P.P.S. If anyone is interested, I'm considering converting my motorcycle gauge from VFD to LCD. Link here:
