Creating the same output as in version 5.3

[SalahuddinAsh]

LVGL version

5.3

What happened?

I used to generate C arrays for my fonts using the online font converter version 5.3 using this link https://lvgl.io/tools/font_conv_v5_3

The generated arrays used to have the character as comments beside the code itself as in this screenshot

The glyph descriptors used to be simple with w_px and glyph_index only

This used to work fine with my code

Currently as the link to font converter 5,3 is not valid anymore, when I try to create a C array with the current font converter I get completely different output with a much bigger glyph descriptor and there is no symbol for the character as comments beside the code itself.

I also tried to run the offline tool https://github.com/lvgl/lv_font_conv but the output was the same

lv_font_conv --font JetBrainsMono-Bold.ttf -r 0x20-0x7f --size 24 --format lvgl --lv-include lvgl.h --bpp 1 -o myfont.c

Is there a way that I can get the same output as before?

How to reproduce?

No response

Hey,

When we have created our new webpage the v5.3 font converter wasn't added. I thought it's not really used anymore :sweat_smile:

You can still access it here: https://dev.lvgl.io/tools/font_conv_v5_3

@SalahuddinAsh Hi, is this still a valid issue?

[SalahuddinAsh]

Actually I could create my own tool to do almost the same as version 5.3. It is not perfect as version 5.3 used to be for me. I think adding this option to the website will be a good/useful option for some people.

Cool. Looking forward to it

it would be really great to add it, however the old tool is written in PHP and the current site doesn't use PHP :slightly_frowning_face:

In lack of a good solution I close this issue for now. 🙁
