From MikroElektronika GLCD Font Creator V1.2.0.0 Help FAQ

I can't see this option in the Export box and at the bottom of this thread: http://www.mikroe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=22432&hilit=fixed+width+font this is confirmed in a post by LGR:

I have tried editing the top line of a proportional font '$82, $60, $00, $1C' using janni's description in uGLCD help without success:

How do I create a fixed width font ?

Indeed, GLCD Font Creator allows to export fonts in fixed-width format only if font height does not exceed 8 pixels. Unfortunately, my program, uGLCDfonts, follows what GLCD Font Creator produced.

There are two solutions. One which I, in my laziness , use - simply changing the first column where necessary (mostly digits and space for ease of use when displaying numbers) to constant value in variable-width font table produced by GLCD Font Creator - before applying uGLCDfonts. Obtained font is, naturally, of variable-width type but with chosen fonts or all fonts of equal width.

The second solution requires removal of first column in variable-width font table produced by GLCD Font Creator (exported for GLCD, not for new library) and change of the sentence
in font file description to
as uGLCDfonts uses it to differentiate between fixed- and variable-width font files.

I will think of a simpler solution where uGLCDfonts program would have an option to produce fixed-width font table from variable-width one obtained from GLCD Font Creator.

Thanks janni

First solution did the trick and quite simple as the only number I needed to change was '1' as all the others were the same width.

Having a hybrid of fixed width numbers and selected characters only, is quite handy as the reduced width of some characters like 'i' and ':' adds up to more characters which can be fitted on a single line of the display.

That's what I always thought and that's why I didn't have a need for larger fonts in fixed-width format.

Hello janni i am trying to reach you out for a specific problem that i encounter in uGLCD library.
Btw its completely perfect work.
I am kinda new to programming PIC's so my problem seems funny to you but i am having problems while i draw rectangles on screen. I can post some screenshots or something else.
Ill be very glad if you can reach me out.

Actually my problem is not with circles squares etc. Also while writing a text.
For example i simply draw a line on horizontal axis of the screen. When i do that i see extralines goes 2 pixels above the line and then 1 and 2 again.
When i draw line between x= 0 to 31 its okey when i do this like x=0 to 64 an extra line occurs like 2 pixel above the original line with start point x2=32 when x2 goes to 96 1 more line 1 pixel above comes up for point x2= 63.
I see this on like all routines and about to lose it. Wirte_Char function is working well for me now but the other routines comes with this problem. I'll be very glad if someone can help me out
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'll gladly help but more info is needed. What kind of GLCD you use? Exactly which functions cause the effects you mention?
