## Generate the fonts:
* Open the [LVGL font converter](https://lvgl.io/tools/fontconverter)
* Enter the settings for the font that you wish to convert
* Click on Convert, download the file and place it in `src/DisplayApp/Fonts`
* Make sure you have installed lv_font_conv, and it's in the PATH
* `npm i lv_font_conv`
* `export PATH="$PATH:$PWD/node_modules/.bin"`
* *OR* globally:
* `npm i -g lv_font_conv`
* `export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"` (if not already in the path)
* or in any other path you choose.
* run the `generate.py` script, while in the folder.
* it has a `-h` flag to show usage, nontheless: `python generate.py fonts.json`
### How to add new symbols:
* Browse [this cheatsheet](https://fontawesome.com/cheatsheet/free/solid) and pick symbols
* For each symbol, add its hex code (0xf641 for the 'Ad' icon, for example) to the *Range* list (Remember to keep this
readme updated with newest range list)
* Convert this hex value into a UTF-8 code
* For each symbol, add its hex code (0xf641 for the 'Ad' icon, for example) to the *Range* list (or the symbol list when its simple enough) in the `fonts.json` file
* * Convert this hex value into a UTF-8 code
using [this site](http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~richard/utf-8.cgi?input=f185&mode=hex)
* Define the new symbols in `src/displayapp/screens/Symbols.h`:

### Navigation font
`navigtion.ttf` is created with the web app [icomoon](https://icomoon.io/app) by importing the svg files from `src/displayapp/icons/navigation/unique` and generating the font. `lv_font_navi_80.json` is a project file for the site, which you can import to add or remove icons.
This font must be generated with the `lv_font_conv` tool, which has additional options not available in the online converter.
`lv_font_conv --font navigation.ttf -r '0xe900-0xe929' --size 80 --format lvgl --bpp 2 -o lv_font_navi_80.c`
