Well, in that case I must be doing something wrong or missing something!
I've extended the loadBufferLong to support ascii codes until 255:
void loadBufferLong(int ascii){
if (ascii >= 0x20 && ascii <= 0xff) {
...
and then, I've just added some test character to the end of the font10x7 definition. So, that additional character is now after 0x7f, so it is on the 0x80 position (at least I think so).
If I explicitly call that character for example in the code below, i don't see anything different in the new scrolling text...
The first position of the array that should hold the new character 0x80, just don't display anything. It is just like a space...
void doTemperature(){
chrBuffer[0] = 0x80;
chrBuffer[1] = ' ';
chrBuffer[2] = 'I';
chrBuffer[3] = 't';
chrBuffer[4] = 's';
chrBuffer[5] = ' ';
chrBuffer[6] = 0x0;
Thank you for the link for the GLCD font creator. I didn't knew it and I am going to try it out. From my quick review, It appears that it only exports to an hexadecimal format, that need a good amount of work to make it usable in this project.
Some time ago I came across The LED Matrix Studio here, but didn't did anything with it yet.
I really appreciate your help, support and time.
Best regards
