5. Anti Aliased Fonts / M5.Lcd.printtoSprite

Anti Aliased Fonts / M5.Lcd.printtoSprite

  • P

    Hi all

      Has anyone successfully managed to get anti aliased fonts working?

 M5.Lcd appears to be an incomplete subset of TFT_eSPI; I've tried creating a TFT_EFT Sprite which is bound to the pointer for the M5.Lcd:

    TFT_eSprite spr = TFT_eSprite(&M5.Lcd);

    but it looks like the actual code to load the Smooth fonts has been left out of M5.Lcd for some reason....this is a great shame.

    see here : https://github.com/komikoni/M5Stack/commit/6b47f2e79d150588728537d61641cd9e1ea5ed88

    It looks like I'll have to patch my library to make it work, which I'm not too keen on.

    no response from M5stack on any of the threads so far that i can see.

    Hmmm.....do i implement a custom patch? I would prefer to remain vanilla for my current project...but if I push a submit they might reject it because it breaks something else. If they would just respond and comment why it's been left out (i.e. it breaks x, y, and z if we enable it) then at least I could make an informed decision to live without or implement.
