8x8 Font editor, for MAXduino type fonts

[matalog]

Is there a Font editor for the 8x8 digits used on OLED screens by the likes of MAXduino?

The characters are stored as hex numbers text format, 8 bytes per character.

The text portion of the hex editor view of such a Font looks like this:

0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,  // SPC
0x00,0x00,0x2E,0x51,0x51,0x2E,0x00,0x00,  // symbol '!'
0x06,0x05,0x02,0x00,0x06,0x05,0x02,0x00,  // symbol '"'

I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @matalog.

In the future, when creating a topic please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.

This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

I would call a Font editor a Development tool, so I suppose we disagree about the correct category here. My question is nothing about hardware or displays.

You are not making a tool. You are asking to use one. Fonts use displays. Grump.

Sure, but we only provide dedicated forum categories for the official Arduino development tools:

• Arduino CLI
• Arduino Cloud CLI
• Arduino Cloud Editor
• Arduino Cloud IoT
• Arduino Firmware Updater
• Arduino IDE

For any other development tools, you must select an appropriate category.

@matalog

I suppose we disagree about the correct category here

Indeed we do. You chose the Development Tools > Uncategorized category. If you had bothered to read the description of that category, you would have see that it is:

DO NOT USE! Please select the appropriate category for your topic.

If you had looked further, you would have found these pinned documentary topics in that category:

So your choice was indisputably incorrect.

I am asking about a tool... I will have to make one if it doesn't exist.

@matalog

I am asking about a tool

And that was exactly my answer. Problem is; you.

[matalog]

Your answer doesn't give a tool that allows editing of Fonts stored as Hex in Text format.

[xfpd]

Not true. And the internet has many more.
