daisy font converter

A small command line tool to convert PixelForge font files into c-arrays for the electrosmith daisy.

Usage

daisyfontconverter --input pat/to/my_font.pxf --width 4 --height g

Example output

static const uint16_t Font4x6[] = {
    0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, // Space
    0x0000, 0x4000, 0x4000, 0x4000, 0x0000, 0x4000, // !
    0x0000, 0xA000, 0xA000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, // "
    ...
    0x0000, 0x0000, 0xE000, 0x2000, 0x4000, 0xE000, // z
    0x0000, 0x6000, 0x4000, 0xC000, 0x4000, 0x6000, // {
    0x0000, 0x4000, 0x4000, 0x4000, 0x4000, 0x4000, // |
    0x0000, 0xC000, 0x4000, 0x6000, 0x4000, 0xC000, // }
    0x0000, 0x0000, 0x2000, 0xE000, 0x8000, 0x0000, // ~ Tilde
};

FontDef Font_4x6 = {4, 6, Font4x6};

The result of that output should go into oled_fonts.c in libDaisy. Additionally put a extern FontDef Font_4x6; into oled_fonts.h

Run task build_all in VSCode and use your font as usually
