Post @developers: small fonts to display numbers
hi,
do you think you'll be able to implement a smaller font size to display more numbers on the display?
e.g., a 5x5 matrix like this:
Code:
 
....█  .███.  .███.  █....  █████
....█  █...█  ....█  █....  █....
....█  ...█.  ..██.  █..█.  .███.
....█  .██..  ....█  █████  ....█
....█  █████  .███.  ...█.  ████.

.███.  █████  .███.  .███.  .███.
█....  ....█  █...█  █...█  █...█
████.  ...█.  .███.  .████  █...█
█...█  ..█..  █...█  ....█  █...█
.███.  .█...  .███.  .███.  .███.

or maybe even 4x5:
Code:
...█  .██.  ███.  █...  ████
...█  █..█  ...█  █...  █...
...█  ..█.  .██.  █.█.  .██.
...█  .█..  ...█  ████  ...█
...█  ████  ███.  ..█.  ███.

.██.  ████  .██.  .██.  .██.
█...  ...█  █..█  █..█  █..█
███.  ..█.  .██.  .███  █..█
█..█  .█..  █..█  ...█  █..█
.██.  █...  .██.  .██.  .██.

This is not likely to be implemented.

Existing characters are 5x7 plus blank pixel column to right and blank pixel row.

5x5 will not get any more horizontal characters.

One suggestion is that you use the left and right keys to toggle between two different display formats.
