I use adafruit gfx library and i have some problem with fonts.
when i chose some font like FreeMono18pt7b i get double text on my tft .
ON this link is photo of my tft
this is part of my code .
tft.setCursor(15,100);
tft.setTextColor(WHITE);
tft.setFont(&FreeMono18pt7b);
tft.setTextSize(1);
tft.print("I m here !!!");
with default font its ok .
Have someone solution for this problem
Life would be much simpler if you posted your actual code.
I just had to write something from scratch:
#include <MCUFRIEND_kbv.h>
MCUFRIEND_kbv tft;
#include <Fonts/FreeMono18pt7b.h>
#define BLACK 0x0000
#define WHITE 0xFFFF
void setup(void)
{
tft.begin(tft.readID());
tft.fillScreen(BLACK);
tft.setCursor(15, 100);
tft.setTextColor(WHITE);
tft.setFont(&FreeMono18pt7b);
tft.setTextSize(1);
tft.print("I m here !!!");
}
void loop(void)
{
}
And it worked just fine.
Incidentally, if you want to post a photo, why do you post it upside down?

i use adafruit and ili9488 library i dont ue mcu library
Well, I don't have an SPI ILI9488.
I built your program for an ILI9341 using "Adafruit_ILI9341.h" library.
Sure enough, it draws the text twice.
I re-built with my own "ILI9341_kbv.h" library.
It draws the text twice.
It seems rather odd. Especially since MCUFRIEND_kbv uses Adafruit_GFX and works fine.
David.
I am confused. I tried my original program but with ILI9341_kbv library:
#include <ILI9341_kbv.h>
ILI9341_kbv tft;
#include <Fonts/FreeMono18pt7b.h>
#define BLACK 0x0000
#define WHITE 0xFFFF
void setup(void)
{
tft.begin(tft.readID());
tft.fillScreen(BLACK);
tft.setCursor(15, 100);
tft.setTextColor(WHITE);
tft.setFont(&FreeMono18pt7b);
tft.setTextSize(1);
tft.print("I m here !!!");
}
void loop(void)
{
}
It works just fine.
I have no idea what your "other" code does. It seems fairly benign.
David.
Ah-ha. I have cracked it.
Your program is continually executing loop().
First time. It sets the Cursor and draws "I m here !!!" correctly.
Second time. It sets the Cursor about 4 pixels lower. And draws "I m here !!!" in the second position.
So it looks like a problem with setCursor() in the Adafruit_GFX library.
I am surprised that this has never been noticed.

i resolve my problem but now i have other one.
Can you explane my how can i make my own fonts in this library ?
What is/was the problem with Adafruit_GFX ?
Ah-ha. I see the solution:
tft.setFont(&FreeMono18pt7b); //call setFont()
tft.setCursor(0, 200); //before setCursor()
tft.setTextColor(WHITE);
tft.setTextSize(1);
tft.print("I m here !!!");
delay(1000);
Regarding Fonts. Adafruit provide a program for creating Free Fonts. The source code is already in the Adafruit_GFX library folder.
No, I have not used it. However, I have converted existing Fonts from other popular formats e.g. UFTF fonts.
Did it with an Arduino sketch.
David.
Please read my thread and help me sir!!!
Thanks!!!

you use UTFT fonts maker and add this font to adafruit library?
Do you know have in adafruit some method for printing number like printNumI in UTFT ???
Look at the UTFT code if you really want such an unintuitive set of methods.
Yes, UTFT does let you do the formatting which Arduino Print methods lack.
It is not difficult to steal some UTFT ideas for your own helper function to format an integer or float.
Some of the right alignment, centering gets a little messy. Look at my UTFTGLUE class.
Look at my FreeDefaultFonts.h implementation. It is simply the standard UTFT fonts converted to FreeFonts format. And incidentally uses much less Flash memory.
Look at how Marek or Bodmer handle fonts in their ILI9341 libraries.

I see on forum one your post , you make 7 segment font for adafruit ,
can you explane me how you make it , i dont use LInux i m on windows 7 .
How can i make my own bigger font then 24p maybe 48 or 96 p .
If you say which UTFT font that you want to be converted, I will do it for you. It will be easier than me posting the sketch.
I just use an Arduino sketch that parses the UTFT font and writes the appropriate C statements to the Serial Terminal.
Be realistic. A 96 pixel high alphabetic font is going to take lots of flash. And you won't get many letters on a 240x320 screen. Ok, there is more room on a 320x480.
There is not much spare memory on a Uno.

Rinky-Dink Electronics you can only numbers from calibribold font .
thank you.
And if you have time for explane me how you do that . you can write here .
Thank you
Here is the generated font:
FreeCalibriBold32x48.h (10.1 KB)
david_prentice:
Here is the generated font:
i try code and i need bigger font maybe 96 not 48
can you make bigger ?
I use only number , i make my own utft font can you make this one

I think that Adafruit_GFX will let you use setTextSize(2) and double the size.
Of course this will be blocky.
You need a font generator / editor program on your PC. There are several.

i use setTextSize but the quality od letters are low
I used your horrible link in #15. It does not look like a proper UTFT font to me.
Do you really want a 128x192 font? It is far too big for a Uno.
My conversion sketch is not creating good data. I am not sure why.
I am actually using a 128k STM32. So I don't have any size problems.
Quite honestly, it is easier to draw digits with graphics than to waste lots of Flash in a 10 digit font.

i dont use uno i use mega , i use this size because i need big numbers , on my display are only number and text for web.
