I've uploaded a couple of fonts for use with KS0108 display and the GLCD library. Download from github:

This belongs in the exhibition category, as cool as it may be, this is a place for questions.
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me.
Im having toruuble getting the calfont working on my glcd.
Here is my sketch:
/*
* GLCDexample
*
* Basic test code for the Arduino GLCD library.
* This code exercises a range of graphic functions supported
* by the library and provides examples of its use.
* It also gives an indication of performance, showing the
* number of frames drawn per second.
*/
#include <glcd.h>
#include "fonts/allFonts.h" // system and arial14 fonts are used
#include "bitmaps/allBitmaps.h" // all images in the bitmap dir
#include "fonts/CalLite24.h" // system and arial14 fonts are used
Image_t icon;
gText textArea; // a text area to be defined later in the sketch
gText textAreaArray[3]; // an array of text areas
gText countdownArea = gText(GLCD.CenterX, GLCD.CenterY,1,1,Arial_14); // text area for countdown digits
unsigned long startMillis;
unsigned int loops = 0;
unsigned int iter = 0;
int theDelay = 20;
void setup()
{
GLCD.Init(); // initialise the library, non inverted writes pixels onto a clear screen
GLCD.ClearScreen();
GLCD.SelectFont(System5x7, BLACK); // font for the default text area
}
void loop()
{
GLCD.SelectFont(CalLite24.h);
GLCD.print("GLCD ");
}
These are the errors i get?

Nice fonts. And they would be really nice to toss into the next GLCD library release.
But where exactly did these come from? I'm trying to understand the copyright.
Did You or Integrated Mapping Ltd actually create these fonts or did you grab them
from the Microsoft fonts available from Windows or from free BDF fonts in linux or somewhere else?
So I guess my real question is, is are these fonts original new works, or are they
really the reformatting of some else's existing copyrighted fonts?

I have no idea why you get those strange errors. I don't get them with 0022
maybe you have a different version of the IDE?
Anyway, the error is this:
Change this:
GLCD.SelectFont(CalLite24.h);
to this:
GLCD.SelectFont(CalLite24);
Simple typo...
