For the discussed number fonts, i have used the following conversion process:
- Convert (scale+raster) truetype font into a bdf font. Result is a .bdf file. Tool: otf2bdf
- Convert .bdf file to a .c file (internal u8glib format). Tool: bdf2u8g
Misalignment already appears in step 1. To fix this, either add information to the original .ttf file or update/fix the intermediate .bdf file. I am always happy to update, fix or add fonts. Just send me the related .bdf or .ttf files.
I have made all bdf file available here:
http://code.google.com/p/u8glib/source/browse/#hg%2Ftools%2Ffont%2Fbuild
So one solution is to download the bdf file and modify this bdf file with some of the existing bdf editors.
Once i receive a bdf (prefered) or ttf, i can offer:
- Update the release process for u8glib with the new bdf file
- replace/add the bdf for future releases
- setup a wiki page with updated or modified bdf files
- optional: give credits to the contributor
For sure, helping hands are needed here. I know that the converted fonts are not that good. As of now, i do not have anything else.
Thanks in advance,
Oliver
