iMON LCD Utility Font Editor

Instructions

Use the grid in the top left to design a character for the font set. You can add columns and rows as desired. When you are done, save the character to the list on the top right.

To load/edit an existing character, click on the character in the list at the top right and then click the Load button (or just double click on the character). Edit the character on the right, then click the Update button

Continue the process to design as many characters as you want. When you are ready to save your work, click the "Save Bitmap Set" button. All defined characters will be put into the bottom text area. Copy the text from there into a font file in the appropriate folder on your mythbox.

To load a previously create font, open the font file on your mythbox and copy the contents of the font file into the clipboard. Paste the contents into the bottom textbox and click "Load Bitmap Set". Warning...doing so will cause you to lose any unsaved work.

Notes:

The names for each character should only be a single character long.

Each character in the set may be a different height. However, when loaded by the iMON LCD utility, the will all be bottom padded to the height of the tallest character. In other words, you should make each character in the set the same height. I recommend either 8 or 16 rows tall. Other heights will work but won't be very useful in the initial version of the iMON LCD utility.
