root@4
     5

root@4
     7

root@4
     9

  displays (thanks to Lucian Muresan)
root@4
    94
- glcdgraphics: fixed a NULL-pointer exception in cBitmap::DrawCharacter
root@4
    95
  when skipPixels is equal to width of the character and SubBitmap
root@4
    96
  returns NULL, which was not tested for (thanks to Malte Schröder for
root@4
    97
  reporting this one)
root@4
    98

root@4
   125
  README.crtfont for details.
root@4
   126
- new tool genfont: allows converting of true type fonts to GraphLCD
root@4
   127
  fonts using freetype2 library. You have to uncomment HAVE_FREETYPE2 in
root@4
   128
  Make.config to use it.
root@4
   129
- added new fonts verdana and verdana bold in sizes 9 to 29 converted by

root@4
   132
  compile on x86-64 (thanks to Stefan Bergler).

root@4
   143
- glcddrivers: ks0108: Improved timings: Made setting of display control
root@4
   144
  lines like defined in the controller's data sheet. This fixes problems
root@4
   145
  with some display types. Thanks to Matthias Breitbach for providing a
root@4
   146
  LCD of that type.
root@4
   147
- glcddrivers: gu256x64-3900:
root@4
   148
  - Corrected calculation of m_nTimingAdjustCmd.
