U8x8 Fonts //free\\ Guide
library, part of the larger U8g2 project , is a high-speed, text-only API designed for monochrome displays. Unlike U8g2, it writes directly to the display without a RAM buffer, making it ideal for memory-constrained microcontrollers like the Arduino Uno. Standard U8x8 Font Examples All fonts in this library must fit within an 8x8 pixel grid
When to avoid U8x8:
- You need a battery graph or a map.
- You want variable-width fonts (looks nicer).
- Your screen is larger than 128x64 (the blockiness becomes painful).
(Note: The order of bytes depends on your display's page layout.) u8x8 fonts
- You have less than 2KB of RAM (e.g., ATmega328P, ESP8266 in deep sleep).
- You only need to display debug messages or simple menus.
- You need maximum frame rate (e.g., a scrolling text ticker).
- You are using a 128x32 display (half-height), where 8-pixel fonts fit perfectly.
