@tankist-git-2 You need to help me out to help you. Post a zip file containing ahronbd.ttf, and your builder_fonts.json. |

@tankist-git-2 I found the problem. The character was stopping scanning of your font at SHORT.MAX_VALUE which is 32767. Your font ends at 65535. I have fixed this in release 17.b12. You will need to use this builder_font.json file which has you font added when using this new release. |

I installed a new version of GUIslice Builder and repeat steps to install new font:
Unfortunatelly, new font does'n appear in a font selection combobox.

@tankist-git-2 No, it's not the data folder that's just so people don't have to go through and create the vlw files for the fonts I ship. Of course, I tested this version with your font and json file before releasing so it works fine, at least for me :) In looking over your your posted images the fonts being listed are for Adafruit_GFX library not TFT_eSPI so I would guess that's your problem. As the README file says I did a code refactoring to better describe our options for IDE and graphics libraries. Where before you picked either arduino, m5stack, tft_espi, or linux and I assumed IDE of Arduino IDE you now must pick your IDE then your Graphics lib. so in your case your Project Options tab should look something like this:
Hopefully, this will address your issue. If not, I'll build a special version that logs everything so we can see why its not working for you. Just let me know your development platform, windows, etc... Paul-- |

O, sorry, that was really my fault.
I see 260 symbols only and still can't input non-latin letters |

@tankist-git-2 Well, before in your first post the last character was TM now it goes up to U+FB4F Hebrew Ligature Alef Lamed which exactly matches what I see when running Microsoft's Character Map utility against the Aharoni truetype font installed on my system.
and all of this matches the download site I found to test this font Why do you think there are more characters beyond what the two programs and web site show? When I downloaded the russian one the Builder shows this: Which I suspect is what I think you are looking for. Post and close this issue if it all works out for you. If not, please explain what exact chacaters you think are missing and how you know they are in your font. Also, zip your font and post it so I can examine it further. Paul-- |

I tried your file but result is the same. I'm a bit confused. Both files (I will refer to them as "old" - what included in release and "new" - what you sent to me in the previous post) shows cyrillic fonts if I use Windows standard utility. But I tried to use https://fontdrop.info/ website and I can't see any other font besides latin although they report about 36 languages support. Just in case I attach both files. Maybe you will find out what the problem is or even offer another font for your program with built-in cyrillic font.

@tankist-git-2 Sorry, I have no idea what windows utility you re using but windows character map doesn't show any of these characters. As for Cyrillic font support I already ship with Google's notosansbold support built-in for vlw. Noto Sans is an unmodulated (“sans serif”) design for texts in the Latin, Cyrillic and Greek scripts. |

@tankist-git-2 I posted a question about this on the Microsoft forum: |

@tankist-git-2 So I got the answer from the Microsoft forum as why you are seeing the Cyrillic characters when you font doesn't contain them. Again you can use the already installed NotoSanBold.vlw font shipped with the builder or maybe take a look at one of these: Paul-- |

Thank you very much for the investigation. Well, I will use existing font and maybe find another one with cyrillic and try to convert it again. |
I try to add my own VLW font into a GUIslice Builder project but is was unsuccessful.
Device hardware:
ESP32 + tft_espi
I follow the instruction on the user_guide to add my own font. There are steps that I've done:
As you can see, I select ALL fonts inside the file including non-Latin ones.
3) I put ahronbd.ttf (original) file into c:\Program Files (x86)\GUIsliceBuilder\fonts\vlw\ folder
4) I put AharoniBold18.vlw (result) file into /data folder of my GUIslice Builder project
5) I edit /templates/builder_fonts.json file to add my font:
"categoryName": "FONT_VLW", "fonts": [ { "familyName": "AharoniBold18.vlw", "displayName": "AharoniBold18", "defineFile": "AharoniBold18", "eFontRefType": "GSLC_FONTREF_FNAME", "pvFontRef": "AHARONI_BOLD_18_VLW", "nFontSz": "18", "logicalName": "ahronbd.ttf", "logicalSize": "18", "logicalStyle": "Bold", "fontRefMode": "GSLC_FONTREF_MODE_1" },What is wrong?
