Addition of a new standardized font

e14 Contributor

Hi

In general I think that the Eagle approach to limit the number of available fonts is a good one since it makes it much easier to get a consistent appearance of the symbols in the libraries.

However I think that the collection of fonts is too limited at the moment.

 

I think that a logical step in the development of Eagle would be to include a new standardized font, such as the osifont (http://code.google.com/p/osifont/).

Schematics designed with this font will be accepted by customers requiring the use of fonts according to ISO3098, for instance by requiring fulfilment of IEC61082.

 

Besides that technicality, osifont is free and it is designed to be readable.

 

Kind Regards

    I think thas is a good idea, and a good choice of font.

    I fully agree with this (both).

     

    This request is very long-standing, BTW... (Previously, Hershey fonts

    have been suggested, which is quite similar.)
