Is there a simple method to dynamically change the x and y spacing of a font? Is this also possible for a tab char?
Is it also possible to change the underline distance of a font.

Regards,

Jelle

Hello Jelle,

The font data which is created using the Font Converter can be changed. It contains the according data for every included character.

Adrian,

Thanks for the response.
So I should edit GUI_FONT.pPropExt->GUI_CHARINFO_EXT.XDist to change the spacing when I create a sif font by GUI_SIF_CreateFont(GUI_SIF_TYPE_PROP_EXT)? Is the GUI_FONT.Baseline parameter used to calculate the distance between the font and the underline? Do I need to call any functions afterwards to update the font? Or is it enough to edit the GUI_FONT struct?

Regards,

Jelle

Hello Jelle,

Yes, editing the GUI_FONT should be sufficient. Yes, the baseline parameter directly affects the underline. No functions have to be called afterwards.

Best regards,
Adrian
