 danielb | at that point I'd probably ask to join the group, the async branch still needs to be pushed in somehow :) | 20:00:22 |
 vollbrecht | though there is also the embedded-graphics org ! daniel is a member there ;D | 20:00:48 |
| vollbrecht | maybe also not a bad fit | 20:00:56 |
| danielb | look at the activity there 😅 | 20:01:22 |
 jamwaffles | I need to hand that over too tbh, but I'm just doing the display drivers for now | 20:02:04 |
| vollbrecht | yeah, but than you dont have the full think only on yourself, but still access if you want | 20:02:07 |
| danielb | there are exactly 3 people in embedded-graphics, let's not put more pressure on them :P | 20:02:41 |
| vollbrecht | oh ;D jamwaffles also embedded-graphics didnt see it ;D | 20:02:42 |
 therealprof | Yeah, he's mister e-g. ;) | 20:03:32 |
| jamwaffles | It was my baby for a while! Then it kinda lost control and I went on to do other things | 20:06:47 |
| jamwaffles | Still quite proud of its features but it's someone else's turn to take up the mantle 🙂 | 20:07:05 |
| danielb | it happens and we all appreciate all the work you put in to get e-g this far :) | 20:08:08 |
| jamwaffles | Yeah 🙂 nothing lasts forever! | 20:11:29 |

 Alexander van Saase | Does anyone know of a monospace font that has numbers with the decimal point within the number glyph? I need to display decimal numbers like 1.23 and I want it to take 3 spaces, not 4. | 13:23:23 |
| danielb | isn't the point of monospace that 4 characters take up 4 * unit width? | 13:29:57 |
| danielb | * isn't the point of monospace that 4 characters always take up 4 * unit width? | 13:31:52 |
| Alexander van Saase | I guess that's a fair point. | 13:39:56 |
| Alexander van Saase | I want to use a monospace font so stuff doesn't jump around when the values change but I don't want to waste a full space on a period. | 13:41:35 |
| Alexander van Saase | I guess adapting an existing font is not too hard. What is the best way to create a custom font? | 13:46:52 |
| Alexander van Saase | Actually I don't really need a real font at all, just some bitmap images. How's the performance of rendering images vs text? | 13:50:27 |
| 2 May 2024 |
 Dominic Fischer | About the same. Probably less overhead with images, since text is images with extra steps. | 14:47:27 |
| Alexander van Saase | Thanks. I mostly need to display some digits and symbols (which I'm currently drawing using basic shapes). Creating my own "font" of bitmap images is probably the best approach then. | 15:18:50 |
 James Munns | Since the space is small (only need to test 10 digits), it might make sense to pick a font, figure out if there's a safe space to manually draw a decimal point (like maybe just a few pixels or a circle in e-g), and just:
- render the text to a buffer
- then draw the circle over the buffer manually
