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.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Font 7 bug or manual error?

I've been working on a little programme that should(!?) work in any resolution/font combination. Font 7 gave me very unexpected results during testing. The manual states font 7 is a 6x8 font and mm.info(fontheight) and mm.info(fontwidth) gives these same values. During testing font 7 seems to actually be a 6x10 font on screen. I am using a the latest beta firmware. Is the mm.info(fontheight) returning the wrong value or has the firmware changed the way font 7 is displayed?

Font 7 is 6x8. You can use it in a program with the text command or the print @ command to space it at 8 pixel height. The normal print command, the editor and the filemanager space font 7 at 10 pixel height for readability
