    • emWin Font Converter: BDF to "Standard" font-type C-file

      Hi
      We are using standard-type C font-files.
      Now we need to add symbols coming form a bdf-file. When I open this file with the emWin Font Converter, the the font-type "Extended" is used.
      Is there any way to get symbols form a bdf-file into a "Standard" type C font file?

      -->

      Thanks and best regards
      Sam

    • Hi Sam,

      This is not possible. Besides, we always recommend to use the "Extended" font type rather than "Standard" fonts. "Standard" fonts are an older format that is still present in FontConverter and emWin for compatibility reasons.

      Extended fonts have two major advantages over Standard fonts:
      They have a lower memory footprint because the pixels that are marked yellow are not included in the character bitmap. The second advantage is that the anti-aliasing quality of Extended fonts is superior to the one in Standard fonts.

      Best regards,
      Florian
