It's kind of amazing that the overhead is only a factor of 2 to literally read BINARY data with my eyes.
And that a 1bpp uncompressed image of a piece of text can be only 50% larger in file size than its .txt file and be readable.
- notorandit 3y agoReadability is in your own eyes. What it is readable for you, is not for me. Just map lower case to uppercase and replace any non alpha-num to a black square. This font is not for general use but just to squeeze text messages on tiny displays. TBH, I see all this pretty useless. While still interesting enough.
- dheera 3y agoI'd say it's probably actually useful if you want to cram a lot of debugging info on a display like this for a small IOT device or something in the field. https://www.adafruit.com/product/3527 https://www.adafruit.com/product/3527
- cutemonster 3y agoDoes this mean that ASCII / the Latin alphabet, is actually pretty good :-)
