# GFXFontTool
GFX font viewer/generator for Arduino TFT
## How to use:
## 1. Generate font:
1. Open generator
2. Open font selector ('font' button) and select font
3. 'Export font' to .h file (e.g 'font1.h')
Optionally, you can specify the generation ranges ('+add range' button).
**Example for cyrillic:**
Ranges: 0x00-0xC8, 0x410-0x500
## 2. Using generated font. Arduino sketch (with TFT_eSPI):
```
#include
#include "font1.h"; // include generated font
TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();
TFT_eSprite sprite = TFT_eSprite(&tft);
// set font
tft.setFreeFont(&exportFont); // for TFT
sprite.setFreeFont(&exportFont); // for specific sprite
// print static UTF8 string
tft.print("Test");
sprite.print("Test"); // for specific sprite
//print from string variable
String text="Test";
tft.print(text.c_str());
sprite.print(text.c_str());
```
