Post by thread:[EE]: LCD Font for docs.

I am writing an instruction manual for a project. I would like to use a font (Windows) that looks like or is very similar to a LCD display. Any suggestions?

Probably not quite what you're looking for, but make sure you embed the font in the .doc, and ultimately in your .pdf if you're going to distribute it as soft-copy...

I've used the bubbledot ICG font which looks very similar to a 5x7 LCD display. One exception is that it has a decending "g". The actual display font shifts it up a bit. It's good enough for a manual, though.

Hi Quentin, I think I've got what you want. I could mail the font-files to you privately. regards, Reelf David Venz schrieb: {Quote hidden}> > Probably not quite what you're looking for, but make sure you embed the > font in the .doc, and ultimately in your .pdf if you're going to distribute > it as soft-copy... > > Quentin wrote: > > > I am writing an instruction manual for a project. > > I would like to use a font (Windows) that looks like or is very similar > > to a LCD display. > > Any suggestions? > > > > Quentin > > > > -- > > http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

They appear to direct you to different URLs. I'd just never encountered such a thing and wondered what was going on. I'll try later when I have some time to poke around on the site.

My guess is that Thomas has to ability to assign a category to his web page so that it can be more easily searched for; he just hasn't actually done it yet. jp Bob Barr wrote: {Quote hidden}> > Dale Botkin wrote: > > > >I saw the banner ad, the "Site not categorized" stuff, a popup window with > >more ads, and never did see Tom's site.

The folks at redrival have made it impossible for me to update my website there unless I pay for their ftp "service". So much for that being a "free" website. They also recently made a change that requires me to register my site under a category, but their software refuses to accept my username and password... so the redrival.com site is for all practical purposes dead at this moment in time. BUT NOT TO WORRY! Try my alternate website: http://www.mcgahee.freeservers.com/ This is an exact copy of my old redrival site, but without the hassle. You will find an exact HITACHI style font there that I made myself and that you can copy and use without any restrictions other than leaving the font intact. I did add a typographic left and right double-quote symbol so you can use it as-is within regualr word processors, but other than that it is the regular HITACHI character set including the awful looking descenders. This site also includes my PICUART.ASM file that helps you through the ins and outs of using the built-in uart on PICs. User feedback has been very positive, and the software has been verified on dozens of different PIC products. It is safe to say that it will work on ANY PIC with built-in uart. The site also has a PIC keypad project and PIC-based digital capacitance meter. PDF files include schematics. Fr. Tom McGahee {Original Message removed}

Quentin, it is easy. http://www.spinwardstars.com/scrfonts/lcd.html download it and add it in your font folder. I just tried it works fine. Andre Abelian I am writing an instruction manual for a project. I would like to use a font (Windows) that looks like or is very similar to a LCD display. Any suggestions?
