Need some advice on TFT library selection

Using Arduino Displays
1

Hi -
I'm relatively new to the Arduino world (but not embedded firmware design) and wanted to take advantage of display library that exists under the Arduino framework. Lately I've been sifting through the abundance of TFT libraries that support the ST7789 and am looking for some advice. My requirements are not stringent. I am only interested is displaying text (no graphics) and am looking for a minimal footprint library but with some facility for creating custom fonts (in particular 7 segment fonts).

Therefore, I'm hoping an experienced firmware developer will have some advice that would steer me to a good solution.

Thanks for any help -
Jim

I would look at these two and pick the one with the API that suits your needs.

The U8g2 library is popular, and has text-only capability with minimal footprint (U8x8 option).
