Description

I wanted a 80 character wide mono-spaced text display, so I made one and made a simple e-book reader to test it out. Fortunately I found the perfect font for this Prof Neue, which is a vector font, based on a 5x9 pixel font. It was a ton of work making each costume. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2591 Font: Prof Neue – Accessible pixel-based typeface Mono Regular by reddit user u/esprite The voice playback could be better by sending whole sentences to the block, instead of stopping at the line. Before importing the text file, I did a search/replace "," with "¬" because otherwise a scratch omits the rest of the line. Then I have a scratch script that replaces it back.
