I don't understand why DSEG14 doesn't have some of the lower-case letters that DSEG7 does. Anyone know why?
You still can't represent all lowercase letter shapes on a 14-segment display, but you can do all uppercase, so I'm assuming they went with that for consistency.
Page six shows the alphabet: https://www.myomron.com/downloads/1.Manuals/Panel%20Indicato...
I used the 7-segment font for my software-only microwave and really like the result. https://microwave.pointless.click/
I used Omron's K3GN panel meters in a project at work and I had to draw the alphabet in the configuration drawing because it is so unintuitive. It's not a whole lot worse than the one shown in the article, but still... it's pretty rough. I think I prefer numbered parameters like you typically see on VFDs. It's a lot easier to just scroll to P148 or whatever, enter to view/modify, scroll the value, enter to set. Menu…
I'm not convinced that, in the 14 segment font, we should just give up and accept that lower case "a" and "m" should just be the same as their upper case counterparts: We can represent a "double storey" a like this: ___ | ___| | | |___| It's also unclear why we couldn't have a 14 seg lower case m like this: _ _ | | | | | | Maybe for each character, have a link to a documented rationale. EDIT: Oh, look at the example…

Well thought out font though, 7segg-chan is cute.
What's the purpose of the arrow with line through it for the DSEGWeather? Well thought out font though, 7segg-chan is cute.
