Update: font_tiny5

[Gissio]

Hallo Oli:

Some weeks ago I updated font_tiny5. You can find the latest release here:

Nice. Is this font already included in u8g2?

Or is your request to include the font into u8g2?

[Gissio]

It is already part of u8g2! https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/fntgrpu8g#tiny5

Could you also add some reference to the font's repository? https://github.com/Gissio/font_tiny5

[olikraus]

Oh, i remember, it is a followup of #2185

yes, sure. I just need to see how to add the reference to your repo. Thanks a lot!

[Gissio]

I just wanted to let you know that I've added greek and cyrillic to tiny5!

[olikraus]

Thanks!
I think i didn't do anything regarding this topic, but it's on the list for the next release.

BTW, this is a bit offtopic but might interest you. Some time ago I wrote a graphics library for color LCD displays (also monochrome) with anti-aliased font rendering and lightweight font compression. I used many ideas of u8g2, plus second-level RLE. In some cases, it slightly outperforms u8g2's compression!

I wrote this for Rad Pro, a custom firmware for Geiger counters:

wow, nice, project "starred". Nice comparison tables and example pictures.

I don’t mean to be annoying, but Tiny5 made it to Google Fonts!

Hi Oliver:

Danke fürs Kompliment!

One more thing: u8g2_font_tiny5_tf and u8g2_font_tiny5_tr need to be updated as well, as I corrected several characters in Unicode range 0x20-0xff.

I have rebuild all fonts, so also the pictures in the wiki should reflect your changes.

[Gissio]

I responded as the pictures in the wiki remained unchanged. So, it's most likely a matter of waiting for GitHub to update the URLs!

[olikraus]

could be the case...

[Gissio]

Hello there,

once again, I don't mean to be annoying, but the _tf and _tr images (https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/fntgrpu8g#tiny5) haven't updated. Its noticeable because of the changes in the lowercase v, w and the accented characters.

[olikraus]

Thanks for crosschecking.
Is everything fixed now?

[Gissio]

Looking great now!
