  • I was just doing a video

    showing how to display realtime YouTube video views on a 32x8 LED display, and I was having some difficulty fitting any number above 100k on the display with the normal 8 pixel high font (which is also basically 7px for most characters).

    It struck me it'd be really handy to have a proper 8 pixel high number font that fitted into 3 pixels wide (4 pixels with a gap), so I've sketched up what's below. What does everyone think?

    I'm not a big fan of 6, 8 and 9 - any ideas how to make them better? @jose1711 ?

    I'll cope up with some code to create a font from this later - it's just convenient to be able to post stuff on the forum so we can see/edit them easily.
