I'm so close *sob*

Edit: I did it! My Truetype font output on LVGL[^] I can't seem to get it to line up along the baseline using LVGL's font machinations. Other than that, I've done all the ugly business of getting it rendering, and there was a lot to do. But I cannot figure this out for the life of me. I'm so close, but it may as well be the moon. :(

It looks like it's related to the characters, and that there are two reference points. So ... kludge it so it works, then look at the kludge factor you had to apply. What's it's actual value? Is it related to a specific pattern of the character number? Or is there something with the same kludge factor that you missed in the TT font data? Fonts are always fun to play with, and never work like you expect in my experience! :-D If that doesn't work, take the night off and look at it fresh tomorrow.

This is why I use simple bitmap fonts

That's not always practical.

It depends on the application: if your need raw speed, bitmap fonts are the way to go. If you want flexibility (in terms of size, weight, and effects) then truetype is the choice. But Bitmaps use significant space when they get to large font sizes, and really don't scale well without losing the speed advantage. I even invented my own "compromise font" based on vertical slices compressed into "runs" of black for one device which needed the speed and a small size (Z80 processor @ 32MHz was right on the edge of what I needed, but there wasn't a faster one!) Took me about a week to get it all working fast enough, and it worked for over a decade until the company went bust in the early 00's recession.

The Land of Fonts is filled with the devil's details. However, if you keep your head and keep things organized it can be bit-map fun. Recommend you check FreeGlut [^]
