- russh 6y agoI've used the Hershey fonts in several projects and they look really good. MicroPython code to write using Hershey fonts a LCD Display: https://github.com/russhughes/ttgo-hershey-fonts https://github.com/russhughes/ttgo-hershey-fonts MicroPython based robot that draws using Hershey fonts: https://github.com/russhughes/turtleplotbot3 https://github.com/russhughes/turtleplotbot3 I've been toying around with adding text to the EtchArtDuino and turning it into a "typewriter" or serial terminal. https://github.com/russhughes/EtchArtDuino https://github.com/russhughes/EtchArtDuino
