  • @powersoft I kind of ran into this the other day. I found a font I liked online, but was not sure how to gauge the height of the font and the placement of the text on the screen. I ended up using trial and error which kind of sucked due to the lengthy compile and upload process.



  • This is available in the TFT_eSPI base class to canvas, but is not exposed to us.
    The following seems to work:

    int height = ((TFT_eSPI&)Canvas).fontHeight();
