Hi Marcel

Thanks a lot! It looks and works really nice. Any chance you will include a selector for the fonts used by u8glib?

By the way: I compared the difference it makes on the heap and between your 7 default modules and the original module it's more than 5KB! Not bad if you desperately need some additional heap space:

Sure, why not...the list goes on and on The appetite comes with eating.

I see that https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firm ... onfig.h#L9 allows to configure fonts. What are the valid values? https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firm ... glib/u8g.h contains lots of variants. Furthermore, it'd also be nice to get a graphic example for each font the page offers so users can make up their minds.

I think they should correspond to these here:

Here's an update on the feature requests posted in this thread.

This is done but currently read-only in the UI due to NodeMCU bug #432

Next on my list.

Currently in the making, marked read-only in the UI. The back-end is done but I'm struggling a bit with the sensible presentation of several 100 font faces in the UI. The main screen will just have a text field to enter a comma separated list of font names as expected by NodeMCU but to help you with the selection there's a separate window with checkboxes whose state will feed the text field.

Most notable (but not visible), however, is that I reworked the entire back-end to be able to add more features with very little effort in the future.
