Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hello
I've looked a bit at the fonts that come with the firmware download. I thought the font "Dingbats1_XL" seemed interesting, I made a program that printed the font on the screen (see below). PicoMite firmware V6.00.03



Here is the program that prints the font on the screen.
Dingbats1_XL.zip

Hello
I have looked at the font "Ubuntu.bas" and found a small "error", char 123 is not correct.


I have adjusted this with the program FontTweak which is also included when you download the PicoMite firmware. I am sending an adjusted file here.

Ubuntu-fixed.zip

These are excellent Peter, thanks.
Would it be OK with you if I included your images and the corrected Ubuntu font in the "official" firmware distribution?

Thanks, I would be grateful if you have any more images of these extra fonts.  It was something I always intended to do but never got around to it.

I'll add the fixed Ubuntu font too... (See above there is an adjusted font there)



I packed all the fonts I printed in the attached ZIP file.

Hello
White background variant that is better suited for printing.



In the attached ZIP file, all fonts are available as individual fonts in a white background version.
