Font Support

This directory contains font rendering support for FastLED.

TrueType Fonts

truetype.h / truetype.cpp.hpp

TrueType font rendering support for LED matrices.

ttf_covenant5x5.h / ttf_covenant5x5.cpp.hpp

Example TrueType font (Covenant 5x5) for LED displays.

Bitmap Console Fonts

Bitmap fonts courtesy of raster-fonts, originally copied from the WLED project.

Available fonts:

• console_font_4x6.h - 4x6 pixel bitmap font
• console_font_5x8.h - 5x8 pixel bitmap font
• console_font_5x12.h - 5x12 pixel bitmap font
• console_font_6x8.h - 6x8 pixel bitmap font
• console_font_7x9.h - 7x9 pixel bitmap font

⚠️ BETA PREVIEW WARNING

All bitmap fonts are BETA PREVIEW. If you choose to use these fonts, keep in mind they will break in future versions until this API stabilizes.

Known limitations:

• Missing mapping functions to convert ASCII symbols to bit patterns for LED strip arrays
• API subject to change without notice

Recommendation: If you want to use these fonts, it's STRONGLY encouraged that you copy them to your own project. If you bind to these headers, you are on your own to fix your project when they change.

Usage

All fonts are in the fl namespace and use FL_PROGMEM for memory optimization on embedded platforms.

#include "fl/font/console_font_5x8.h"  // Bitmap font
#include "fl/font/truetype.h"           // TrueType support

// Use fl::console_font_5x8 for bitmap rendering
// Use fl::TrueType classes for vector font rendering
