Flowcode v10 GLCD 1306 Font compile errors

Post by ianjoh »

Just experimenting with getting an ideal font and contrast for a project and I am unable to find a font larger than 14 that will compile.
Have i got a setting wrong that is causing this issue, what does compile displays fine on the GLCD.

Thanks
Ian

Hello Ian,

I imagine you're running out of ROM with a larger font, they tend to eat memory.

If you want a big font then one way would be to create your own with a reduced character set to save on the amount of ROM required.

Details on how to do this are available here.

Another way would be to use the SetFontScaler component macro to scale up a smaller font.

I also see that you have 4 fonts enabled in your project but currently you're only using 2 of them. Removing the fonts you're not using will help to save a load of ROM space.
