Adafruit_ftGFX_Library

======================

Enhanced multifont version of the Adafruit_GFX library, created by Peter Jakobs, based on Paul Kourany's 

work on the Adafruit_mfGFX_Library.

This library supports any compatible Adafruit_GFX display driver.  

With this programme, a simple Linux / Cygwin compilable programme called "makefont" is provided. 

Using this, ftGFX compatible fonts can be created on any system that supports FreeType.

Please note that, despite there are free and open font licenses, you may not necessarily be allowed to 

embed / include / distribute all fonts, even in the ftGFX format. Always consider the license under which

a font is provided and, if in doubt, ask the developer / publisher.

BE AWARE that though font data does not take up RAM, they do however take up PROGMEM space so having

too many fonts may prove problematic.

the default font is Open_Sans_Regular_12pt, so this will definitively break your layout if you try to 

just straight away replace the original Adafruit_GFX library. But that's already true to the fact that

the font baseline is different, so there's no point.

This is the core graphics library for all our displays, providing a common set of graphics

primitives (points, lines, circles, etc.).  It needs to be paired with a hardware-specific

library for each display device we carry (to handle the lower-level functions).
