heap corruption when printing 'g'

[rpatel3001]

I'm experiencing heap corruption when trying to print a string containing the lowercase letter g using the TFT_print function. The text up to the letter g is printed, and the part of the g that looks like an a, but the descender and the rest of the text is cut off. The esp crashes with

Not having this issue on my applications. What fonts are you using?

[rpatel3001]

I had left the font as default. This issue was solved by manually calling TFT_setFont(DEFAULT_FONT, 0)

[MichaelEFlip]

I have the same problems here when using a TTGO T-DISPLAY (CONFIG_TFT_PREDEFINED_DISPLAY_TYPE = 5).

Characters "p" and "g" in TFT_print cause immediate resets of the ESP32. Setting the default font as mentioned above solves the problem.
