2.4"TFT P095 fonts

[Affinite]

Hi I am playing around with a TFT display
I can get most commands to work, but cant get the command
tft,font,SEVENSEG18
to work. It just returns
Command unknown: tft,font,SEVENSEG18

Is there something I need to turn on to get this to work ?
Thanks

It depends on the build of ESPEasy that you are running wether these extra fonts are available.
Seeing that this Plugin is only available in the DISPLAY build, and that doesn't have the space to allow inclusion of the fonts, you would have to create a Custom build to have that option, the regular Custom builds don't have it included.
Or you can use an ESP32 with 16 MB Flash and a MAX build installed, as that has all plugins and options (that will work on an ESP32) included.

Thanks. I dont know how to do a custom build so I'll stick with default font

What ESP & Flash configuration are you using? I can build one for you.

Ton thats very kind of you -
I'd prefer to stay on my ESP8266 with 4M flash for this project although I do have a flashed ESP32 if necessary.

Having only just started to get the hang of ESPEASY Rules, Platform I/O etc is beyond me at present.
Thanks again

Thank you
I'll let you know how I get on.
Wish I could return the favour somehow.

Unfortunately none of those custom builds would flash properly.
(I tried OTA and ESP Easy Flasher toll but ESP wouldn't boot after flashing)
