Very Big Font

[brunovr]

Hi, 
How can i write a very big font number in a display (100x50 or heighter) ?

Sure that i must use this passage :

1-  create every character (1.png 2.png...0.png , . )          ok
2- create an gd2asset                                  ok
3- declare in   font_asset.h   the font              ?

#define INFOFONT_HANDLE 11
#define INFOFONT_WIDTH 12
#define INFOFONT_HEIGHT 19
#define INFOFONT_CELLS 96

static const shape_t INFOFONT_SHAPE = {11, 12, 19, 0};



4 use the font 

GD.cmd_text(200, 136, INFOFONT_HANDLE, score);



I'm not been able to make a right font_asset.h and the right width and height, cell parameters.....

thank's


PS 
where can i buy >50 gameduino2 in Europe ? whetheroot haven't display   thank's

If you have the font in TTF then you can use something like:

gd2asset ... myfont.ttf,size=100,format=L1
This thread covers using TTFs:

for a very large font you should probably use "L1" format to save graphics RAM.

..Ok james, i've undestand.

Now, like last time, there is an error :

The _imagingft C module is not installed...

i've seen :

gameduino2.proboards.com/thread/189/custom-font

i have reinstall python, easy_install, PIl-1.1.7.win32-py2.7.exe but don't work

is strange, if i use an image (example : python gd2asset -o myasset.h smile.jpg ) works fine!

if i use a truetype comic.ttf give me the error...

what is it?

ARRGG.. 4 hours lost... no resolve!

i think that the problem is that PIL is not compile with truetype  library...

HELP

Yes, I have seen this on Windows and PIL. Did you try the pre-built asset converter? It *may* be better.
