How to use fonts like freesans5pt7b.h file in stm

[25prithvi]

So I want to use the fonts .h files in STM which have .c files, but not .cpp file.

I went through the .h files of different fonts and where there are 2 structures i.e GFXfont and GFXglyph.

So how to decode it to get a character that I can print on the screen?

If you can provide a flowchart or algorithm for decoding the font .h file then it'll really help me a lot. Basically how to use the bitmap, bitmapoffset, etc.

I am able to print different logos using the bitmap but I am not able to use the bitmap in these fonts .h file.
