Dot matrix font creator

To use this, first create an image.

  • The image should contain a horizontal strip of characters.
  • Only the red channel of the image will be checked, so you can use other channels for annotations. (the hex numbers below are the red channel values)
  • Each character should use 0x00 for "unlit" dots and 0xff for "lit" dots.
  • Characters should be separated by a single column of 0x80.

Below is the image used for the Routes page. Note that some characters intentionally have a gap on one side.
