Adding new Font to DMD libary

Projects Programming

Hi,

With help of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5t7g0ehDJw&list=LL&index=8&t=830s and GLCD font creator, I'm trying to add new characters to font for my native language.

This is my original font file, made by GLCD:

//

//   End Char:   126 '~'
//   # Chars:    95

//   Width:      10

And, this is my program that controls panel:

#include <Verdana16_032_126.h>

#include <SPI.h>
#include <DMD2.h>

#define DISPLAY_WIDTH 3
#define DISPLAY_HEIGHT 4

int i=0;
int j=0;
int k=0;

const uint8_t *Font = Verdana16_032_126;

SoftDMD dmd(DISPLAY_WIDTH,DISPLAY_HEIGHT);
//BoxTr box(dmd);

void setup() {
  dmd.begin();
  dmd.setBrightness(50);
  dmd.selectFont(Font);   // Set the font size scale
  dmd.clearScreen();
}

void loop() {
  dmd.clearScreen();
  dmd.selectFont(Font);
  dmd.drawString(2, 2, "ı");
  delay(10000);
}

Program is working when I use English letters but, panel shows nothing when I type letter "ı".

How can I fix it?

Please open your sketch file with HEX editor and see what the charcode of the "ı" letter?

3

I've tried to do it, I'm not sure if I succeed.

It looks C4 B1.

This looks reasonable since I expected it will be a multibyte UTF character.
Obviously the character with code 0xC4B1 will not be printed as font letter with code 31.
You need convert your text codepage to font codepage first.

What is the language you trying to print?

Ok, thats something I can understand.

And with that, I've no idea. Can you tell me how?

Turkish. It has 12 additional letters: ı İ ç Ç ğ Ğ ö Ö ş Ş ü Ü.

Also want to be able to write some special characters such as Ø ° ±. Thesee are not a must have properties, but it would be nice.

See this library to figure out how to output Turkish letters to DMD matrix panels;

Note the write() function in the DMD2_TUR.cpp - it contains a code to convert UTF charcodes to font codepage.

Yes, I know that libary. And thanks to Mr. Hakan I've already learnd so much about writing font libary. But, couldn't figure out this parrt yet.

Ok, I see the code although can't understand it. How can I use it?

size_t BoxTr::write(uint8_t character)
{
 
    if (character == 195)
    {
        f195 = 1;
        sent = 0;
        return 1;
    }
    if (character == 196)
    {
        f196 = 1;
        sent = 0;
        return 1;
    }
    if (character == 197)
    {
        f197 = 1;
        sent = 0;
        return 1;
    }
    if (f196 == 1)
    {
        resetFs();
        if (character == 177) // ı
            character = 0x1F;
        else if (character == 176) // İ
            character = 0x1E;
        else if (character == 158) // Ğ
            character = 0x1D;
        else if (character == 159) // ğ
            character = 0x1C;
    }

    if (f195 == 1)
    {
        resetFs();
        if (character == 182) // ö
            character = 0x1b;
        else if (character == 150) // Ö
            character = 0x1a;
        else if (character == 156) // Ü
            character = 0x19;
        else if (character == 188) // ü
            character = 0x18;
        else if (character == 135) // Ç
            character = 0x17;
        else if (character == 167) // ç
            character = 0x16;
    }
    if (f197 == 1)
    {
        resetFs();
        if (character == 158) // Ş
            character = 0x15;
        else if (character == 159) // ş
            character = 0x14;
    }

    if (sent)
        return box.write(character);
    return 1;
}

see how I use it in my Turkish print example:

This is a "pseudo-code", only to show an idea. I copied it from the dmd_rgb_turk.ino example for DMD_STM32 library.

"pseudo-code"...Hımm...
Ok, I will search and study on it. Thanks.

10

Yes, pseudo-code, because it is a snippet from other library example - DMD_STM32. This code can be slightly incompatible with DMD library, but still show the general idea of how to use Mr. Hakan's code.
