Feedback usage font converter about lv_utils HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback!

Using the generated fonts

There is a short guide on the font converter's page: "How to use the generated fonts in LittlevGL?" Have you tried it?

Symbols

This part

#if LV_TXT_UTF8
    .unicode_first = 61440, First Unicode letter in this font * /
    .unicode_last = 62190, Last Unicode letter in this font * /
#else
    .unicode_first = 192, First Unicode letter in this font * /
    .unicode_last = 241, Last Unicode letter in this font * /
#endif

is a special case because the symbols are located at different locations with and without UTF8 support. As it's a special case the generator doesn't adds it automatically. It's the same with ..unicode_list, .get_bitmap and .get_width.

It seems useful to add checkbox like "Generate symbol font" which could make these changes automatically. What do you think?

I see the documentation but i don' no where put my generated files. Tell me if i am right
Can be possible to add the font file in my app, then use a lvgl function to register this whitout need to change the font file.
or I need just put this in my app LV_FONT_DECLAER(my_font_name) ?
That disturb me to see #include "../lv_font.h" into the generated font.

Automatic changes with a button will be great with a warning if is not possible (when too much symbol for ASCII). Maybe add some notes about it too. :)

You can copy it anywhere in you project. You just have to declare it (LV_FONT_DECLAER) where you want to use it. No modification required in the files

That disturb me to see #include "../lv_font.h" into the generated font.

If you generate a built-in font then the converter supposes that you will use it as part of LittelvGL.
But for not built-in fonts you should see #include "lvgl/lv_misc/lv_font.h"

Automatic changes with a button will be great with a warning if is not possible (when too much symbol for ASCII). Maybe add some notes about it too. :)

As the mapping of built in symbols is hard coded in lv_symbol_defs.h it is not possible to show warning because if you generate a compatible built-in font than you should use this mapping. But if you use other symbol mapping (not the as in lv_symbol_defs.h) than it's up to you where to place it but then they won't be compatible with the defines in lv_symbol_defs.h.
