Use PrintLargeFont

[Vecheslav]

Hi, in the latest version GCB have a PrintLargeFont,can I use it right away or should I create a new font 13 px ?
Can give a demo for KS 0108 and PrintLargeFont
Thank you!

@Vecheslav

You have found an issue.... The PrintLargeFont compiles a lot of code and produces nothing. Something is wrong somewhere. Is this what you have found?

Misunderstanding due to my bad english.
Should this example work?
Or I must first create new font ,large font.

 #chip 16f877,20


  #include <glcd.h>
  #define GLCD_TYPE GLCD_TYPE_KS0108               

  #define GLCD_OLED_FONT2                 


  #define GLCD_CS1 PORTb.1
  #define GLCD_CS2 PORTb.0
  #define GLCD_DB0 PORTD.0 'D0 to pin 7 on LCD
  #define GLCD_DB1 PORTD.1 'D1 to pin 8 on LCD
  #define GLCD_DB2 PORTD.2 'D2 to pin 9 on LCD
  #define GLCD_DB3 PORTD.3 'D3 to pin 10 on LCD
  #define GLCD_DB4 PORTD.4 'D4 to pin 11 on LCD
  #define GLCD_DB5 PORTD.5 'D5 to pin 12 on LCD
  #define GLCD_DB6 PORTD.6 'D6 to pin 13 on LCD
  #define GLCD_DB7 PORTD.7 'D7 to pin 14 on LCD

  #define GLCD_RS PORTb.2
  #define GLCD_Enable PORTb.5
  #define GLCD_RW PORTb.4
  #define GLCD_RESET PORTC.2

Your example should work. It does not. And, I do not know why.

Use OLED font size 2 as a workaround?

I want to tell @Vecheslav to take into account that a larger font will be processed more slowly. This is the case if you want to display a variable that will change dynamically. I say this from experience.

I'm at a loss, this is the simplest code and it does not work
PrintLargeFont compiles a lot of code ( Program Memory: 4027/8192 words (49,16%) Chip: 16F887) and produces nothing.

' #define GLCD_OLED_FONT                          
' #define GLCD_OLED_FONT2

This is does not work. It generates nothing on the display. It will have to be investigated and resolved. Sorry.
