Graphic editor of hard-coded fonts for LCD and OLED displays.
- first graphic editor of hard-coded fonts ever
- works DIRECTLY with text in real time
- written in Python
- autodetects font width
- modifies font width
- compare with glyphs with various encodings
- development status - production/stable
- operating system independent (to some extent)
- designed to rely on as few external modules as possible
- requires only one third-party python module - wxPython
- hand coded GUI with custom widgets, no generator used
- recommended cpu: Phenom II or faster
| Operating System | Installation methods | State |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | setuptools, pip | Tested |
| Windows | pip | Tested |
| macOS | pip | TODO: Test |
- NO open/save file feature present - this software works DIRECTLY with text data pasted into its text field
- install wxPython manually on Windows - this is to avoid problems with pip not detecting wxPython installed by .exe installer after requirement in metadata was found
- Windows entry in start menu or desktop is left up to user for now (create .lnk to eg. "C:\Python27\python.exe lcdfonteditor" opened in "C:\Python27\Scripts")
- macOS entry in start menu or desktop is left up to user
- optimize font display widget draw area
- autosave settings
- add option to select colours to Options window
- Undo/Redo mechanism
- Windows entry in start menu or desktop - create bat file to make .lnk without another dependency
- FAR future: variable font height, horizontal data mode
- future considerations: move to numpy, move to GTK, port co c++
