nRF SDK GFX library font parameters discrepancies

[samsam]

According to SDK documentation for GFX library : 

“After generating a font, you must change FONT_INFO::height to be described in bits (pixels), not pages”

But in the provided 2 fonts with the SDK GFX example:

orkney_8pts.c the height of the font is 16 pixels, but at the end:

const FONT_INFO orkney_8ptFontInfo =

{

    15, //  Character height

….

i.e. there is 1 bit difference between actual font height and declared at the end.

 

orkney_24pts.c the height of the font is 47 pixels, but at the end:

const FONT_INFO orkney_24ptFontInfo =

{

    45, //  Character height

….

i.e. there is 2 bits difference between actual font height and declared at the end.

Could somebody elaborate where/ why this discrepancy came?

Thanks

Hi,

Which SDK version are you using?

Hi Jared,

I currently use nRF5_SDK_17.0.0_9d13099, but the example / font files are the same as with the older 16.0.0

SDK17\external\thedotfactory_fonts\orkney*pts.c

Hi,

Aha I see! You would have to ask the person that made the font ( not us!) as I can't explain the reasoning for this. 

Sorry for the late reply

best regards

Jared
