Montserrat font appears blended/gradient

[nwluke]

My text when using the montserrat font has very odd blending or coloring or some sort of gradient. When I try to use lv_font_unscii_16 it appears correctly.

I am printing out the upper nibble of each pixel in the flush callback.

Is this due to some incorrect setting in my theme? Why would these fonts display differently when the colors are set the same (basic black and white in the style?

My display is set to #define LV_COLOR_DEPTH 8

Any help would be very appreciated!

Here is the label:

    lv_obj_t * label1 = lv_label_create(lv_scr_act());
    lv_label_set_text(label1, "Hello.");
    lv_obj_add_style(label1, &text_style, LV_PART_MAIN);

Here are each style:

lv_font_unscii_16

    lv_style_t text_style;

    lv_style_init(&text_style);
    lv_style_set_text_color(&text_style, lv_color_white());
    lv_style_set_text_font(&text_style, &lv_font_unscii_16);

lv_font_montserrat_14

    lv_style_t text_style;
    lv_style_init(&text_style);
    lv_style_set_text_color(&text_style, lv_color_white());
    lv_style_set_text_font(&text_style, &lv_font_montserrat_14);

Hi,

The built in montserrat fonts has bpp=4 (bit per pixel) in order to make them anti aliased. It’s normal that thin lines are rendered with not “full color”.

On the other hand unscii is created for monochrome displays (with bpp=1) so it hasn’t got smooth edges.
