Alternative Vector font ?

@Gordon. The Custom font converter is great but it means you have to create seperate functions for each size of the font. I am wondering if there could be the possbility of selecting a replacement Vector font from font.google.com ? What I have in mind would be the ability of the user to add a module (or code) created by a converter tool that would allow a user to have an alternative Vector font. Then in settings the user could select a setting 'Custom Vector Font' rather than the system Vector font.

I had considered this but actually rendering an existing vector font nicely is extremely difficult - on desktop a lot of work goes into it and the vector font takes up a lot of space. Originally we used a font created from a truetype font and it was a complete mess, which is why @NebbishHacker ended up designing something from scratch that actually rendered really well.

What might be a possibility is to render vector line fonts, but I don't think that'll really help you much there isn't a huge selection of those.

Then in settings the user could select a setting 'Custom Vector Font' rather than the system Vector font.

As Gordon mentioned, we gave hershey line font a try and it was much more complex and larger in size than the vector font that NebishHacker designed.

There actually is some code in Espruino now that will handle line fonts, which gives you really nice rotation and scaling behaviour at smaller font sizes - although honestly it only really makes sense for buffered 16 bit screens since then you get nice antialiasing (and neither Bangle.js 1 or 2 have that).

It also really requires a custom-made font as well - even Hershey is a bit more complex than required, so it's of limited use. It's really only in there right now because a customer is using it in their devices.
