I didn't include any letters in the font not to save RAM but because I think nobody would use such a big font as the UI font. Because of this, I also set ascent and descent to zero -- so that the digits can be positioned very exactly. Out of this reason it would be hard to add normal letters to the font since they usually have some ascents/descents. > I agree that large numerical fonts make sense for some stuff - I have > made 40 and 50 point ones myself for big screen FM targets Where do you keep them? > Thoughts? Maybe have a folder with special purpose fonts? Or add glyphs from some other font to this one, e.g. 19-Nimbus? But I (or anybody else) can revert the commit if you think the font makes more harm than good as it's now.
