Adding fonts to use with SparkFun_Qwiic_OLED_Arduino_Library

I am using the SparkFun Qwiic OLED - (1.3in., 128x64)

I would like to add a 7x14 font to the SparkFun_Qwiic_OLED_Arduino_Library, and am trying to follow creating-fonts-for-microview but I am not getting it to work. The characters are shifted vertically. I do not know what I am doing wrong.

Do you know where I can find custom fonts to work with? I don’t mind making my own if I can figure out how to make it work but if one is available I would love to save the time.
Thanks!

I suspect the issue is related to that guide being for the 64x64 microview OLED , not the 128x64 OLED

It might take some fiddling but the principles will be similar…but you’ll need to figure out which buffers/registers to change around. If it is currently just vertically shifted you are fairly close! (this is probably because they use the same SSD1306 chip)

Thanks for the reply.
The fonts in SparkFun_Qwiic_OLED_Arduino_Library
have the below in the header, so I thought the instructions would work, other than modifying how the constants are stored.
