Arduboy Font 4x6

Source        GitHub Source

I have created a 4 x 6 font for the Arduboy. It has the upper- and lower-case alphabet, numbers and the exclamation mark and the period. You can easily add extra characters if you like.

There is a #define that allows you to remove the lower case letters. Doing so strips out 108 bytes.

A sample program is shown below:

#include <Arduboy2.h>
#include "src/fonts/Font4x6.h"

Arduboy2Base arduboy;
Font4x6 font4x6 = Font4x6();

void setup() {

  arduboy.boot();

}

void loop() {

  if (!(arduboy.nextFrame())) return;

  arduboy.clear();
  font4x6.setCursor(12, 12);
  font4x6.print(F("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"));
  font4x6.print(F("\nabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"));
  font4x6.print(F("\n0123456789"));
  font4x6.print(F("\n!."));

  arduboy.display();

}

You can also pass a line height to the constructor, as shown below: 

Font4x6 font4x6 = Font4x6( 11 );

The two images below show the standard line height - 8 - and 11.

I also have a 3x5 font here. As a comparison, the fonts are compared to the default one below …
