Pseudo big font library

[iesika 0]

I want to change font size in opencomputers screen, but It seems that API does not exist.

So, I made this.

• You can use range of characters from 0x0020 to 0x007E.
• You can change font size (2-8). I recommend that you use size 4 or 8.

Download:

attachment file or github

API:

bigfont.load(size: number) -- load font file

bigfont.set(x: number, y: number, string: number, size: number) -- writes a string to the screen

Example:

local bigfont = require("bigfont")
local component = require("component")
local gpu = component.gpu
local w, h = gpu.getResolution()
local args = {...}

gpu.fill(1,1,w,h," ")

for size = 2, 8 do
    bigfont.load(size)
end

local y = 1

for size = 2, 8 do
    bigfont.set(1, y, args[1] or "size"..tostring(size), size)
    y = y + size
end

 

 

(sorry for my English)

Size 7 and 8 look pretty nice, actually. The smaller sizes have little issues but the bigger ones look really damn nice.
