+# Fonts
+In order to get e.g. German "Umlauts" displayed on the display using the Adafruit GFX library,
+you need to supply your own 8bit Font, which actually contains these symbols.
+To create one, you can use the fontconvert utility delivered together with the GFX library.
+
+fontconvert is in .pio/libdeps/nodemcuv2/Adafruit GFX Library_ID13/fontconvert
+
+In order to create your own font, you can follow these steps:
+
+- Download free fonts from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/ and copy the fonts e.g. to ~/freefont
+- run`./fontconvert ~/freefont/FreeMono.ttf 11 32 252 > ../Fonts/FreeMono11pt8b.h`
+- the above command creats an 11pt Mono Font with symbols 32 through 252, which includes Umlauts and some other symbols (such as the degree symbol °)
+
+In your code:
+- `#include <Fonts/FreeMono11pt8b.h>`
+- `tft.setFont(&FreeMono11pt8b);`
