The write method now accepts UTF8 encoded strings. You will have to create a python font file containing the characters you are going to use with the font2bitmap.py utility. See the proverbs.py and proverbs_font.py files in the examples/T-Display folder for an example. UTF8 support is not optimized,...

I read the "Illustrated Guide to Python 3" book by Matt Harrison and thought it was excellent.

You can convert a True Type font using the font2bitmap.py utility. The display driver is not currently unicode aware so it would require some modifications to make unicode fonts work easily. I will look into adding support for unicode fonts.

Thanks, this is very useful.

Yes. The https://github.com/russhughes/st7789_mpy repo has been updated and tested with a 128x128 and a 128x160 st7735 display.

I should have a 128x160 display this weekend. I will see if I can add support for it and the 128x128’s as well.

You can printf() from c code and it will printed to the REPL console. Another thing that can help is to add a monitor target in ports/esp32/Makefile. deploy: idf.py $(IDFPY_FLAGS) -p $(PORT) -b $(BAUD) flash monitor: idf.py $(IDFPY_FLAGS) -p $(PORT) -b $(BAUD) monitor erase: idf.py $(IDFPY_FLAGS) -p...

The answer is complicated see https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI/issues/248 for details. I'm planning on looking into this after I finish working on a LVGL compatible display driver.

Give this a try if you are still looking for a LVGL driver https://github.com/russhughes/lv_st7789

You might be able to make a few changes to your code to get around this problem.
