When designing HMI, the fonts are usually the ones that come with the system. Of course, this is fine in most cases.
However, how can we use gorgeous fonts to attract customers' attention? Of course, the general human-machine interface is still quite conventional, but digital tube fonts should be used more often, because the previous generation of human-machine interface may be implemented using digital tubes. In order to ensure the consistency of the display style with the previous version of the product, it would be great if the fonts can be changed to digital tube fonts. However, the system fonts are often not included. What should we do?
Today, I will introduce to you how to set the fonts of the human-machine interface as you like:
1. First, click the option in the red box, and the "Font Settings" dialog box will pop up. Select "Font Configuration <2>"
2. Right-click in the first column and select "Create" to open the "Create Font" dialog box. Select "UniDreamLED" in the "Font" column
to view the preview, and it has become a digital tube font.
3. You can also adjust the size and display position, as shown below
4. After these settings have achieved the effect you are satisfied with, click "Generate" and it will prompt that the font has been created successfully!
5. At this time, you only need to set the font property option of the character control created on the page to the font you just created as shown below.
6. The effect of burning the project into the module is as follows:
In summary, isn’t it very simple? If you want to display more personalized fonts, then you must first install the fonts on the Windows system. As for windows font installation, you can find a lot of information on Baidu, so I won’t waste time here.
