Tiny font alignment was created by vlad_vy

I can do better vertical alignment for TINY_FONT (128x64x1 GUI). Is it worth to implement?

Well, it looks much better, so I would say yes.

Once I made an all new narrow font too, but there was not much interest in that:

Probably it is too difficult to edit the config.ini...

I need to change Channels monitor page also. With new vertical alignment TINY_FONT touch bargraph. Fixed by horizontal offset of labels.

Changing the channel monitor is not a problem if we supply the new (corrected) font, but the horizontal move might not solve the issue, since in other languages the different letters might touch that bar anyway.
How did it look like with the original font?

Original screen

TINY_FONT has not languages support.

This may look weird with the small UI, I would keep both fonts with different names, just in case (I know hardly anyone uses the condensed display, I personally can't live without it - but then again, I run my own version with some customisations anyway).

That's not bad at all.
Or is it with the original font?

It's with the original font, the top is aligned higher so characters like lower-case p and g can go one pixel lower.

You need to test it. Vertical offset is used for TYNY_FONT, but not for BUTTON_FONT.

Tested, nothing changed, mixer page with tiny font looks the same.

But did you change line and header height to fit more lines on the screen? I can give you my settings if you want.

I changed line height to 8. You can attach your settings for complete testing.

Now I can properly align any version of 04b03.bdf (tiny font). At the moment it changes old 04b03.fon only, other fonts are not affected and remains the same.

We need change "bdf_to_font.pl"

from:

sub align_chars {
    my($font) = @_;
    my $max_zero = 0;
    foreach my $c (sort {$a <=> $b} keys %$font) {
        last if ($c > 2000);
        $max_zero = $font->{$c}{zero} if($font->{$c}{zero} > $max_zero);
    }
    #Align to baseline
    foreach my $c (keys %$font) {
        if($font->{$c}{zero} < $max_zero) {
            foreach my $col (@{ $font->{$c}{data} }) {
                $col <<= $max_zero - $font->{$c}{zero};
            }
            $font->{$c}{zero} = $max_zero;
        }
    }
}

to:

sub align_chars {
    my($font) = @_;
    my $max_zero = $ascent;
    #Align to baseline
    foreach my $c (keys %$font) {
        if($font->{$c}{zero} < $max_zero) {
            foreach my $col (@{ $font->{$c}{data} }) {
                $col <<= $max_zero - $font->{$c}{zero};
            }
            $font->{$c}{zero} = $max_zero;
        }
    }
}
