Hi all.
I am trying to display some special character say Chinese character on TFT like ILI9341, I found U8g2_for_TFT_eSPI can do the job quite easy, still not have what I need more smaller font than wqy12?

thanks for clue.

If you can't find a font that fits your purpose you could always create your own as an image. If it is only one character or the whole alphabet you could do this with a free app called BMFont that takes a whole font collection and creates a binary file, you would need a monospace font file and BMFont allows you to set the font to almost any size you might need.

The GitHub page for u8g2 has the font files for all the fonts available in the u8g2 library, as well as the programs for converting font files to u8g2 format, so you can potentially create a custom sized font.

I did that but too much repeat work.

Thanks.
I checked here:

The smallest font for Chinese character is u8g2_font_wqy12_t_gb2312b, and seems none of others FONT works for Chinese character.
