A bit of whimsy for the new year, I’ve converted the Commodore 64 “PETSCII” font for use on the MicroView!

Note that there are actually two fonts, one for the C64’s Lowercase mode and one for the Uppercase mode. I rearranged the LowerCase one a bit so you can directly use it with uView.print(). You might have to hunt around a bit to find all the characters.
You can get them here.

To install, follow the directions at http://learn.microview.io/font/creating … oview.html .
My modded MicroView.cpp looks like this:
...
// Add header of the fonts here. Remove as many as possible to conserve FLASH memory.
#include <C64FontLower.h>
#include <C64FontUpper.h>
#include <font5x7.h>
#include <font8x16.h>
#include <fontlargenumber.h>
#include <7segment.h>
#include <space01.h>
#include <space02.h>
#include <space03.h>
// Change the total fonts included
#define TOTALFONTS 9
#define recvLEN 100
char serInStr[recvLEN]; // TODO - need to fix a value so that this will not take up too much memory.
uint8_t serCmd[recvLEN];
// Add the font name as declared in the header file. Remove as many as possible to get conserve FLASH memory.
const unsigned char *MicroView::fontsPointer[]={
font5x7
,font8x16
,sevensegment
,fontlargenumber
,space01
,space02
,space03
,C64FontLower
,C64FontUpper
};
...
To use them, simply call uView.setFontType(7); in your sketch and print as normal.
Enjoy!
