[Sugggestion] Mabye use custom font for time?

[alni]

To give the watch face a more custom-made look, mabye test how a custom font would look like?

Requirements:

• Sans-Serif
• The numbers should have same upper and lower body style (e.x. the circles of the number "8" should be the same size)
• The characters should be easily readable at a glanse (even with somewhat poor eye-sight)
  • The tickness should not be too thin, neither too thick
  • The width should not be too small or too large
  • No cursive/big slant; the characters should be aligned with x/y axis (no sway to either sides)
• The fonts should be licensed under an open/permissive license and be free of charge that allows using with a open-source project

Here is a filtered list from Google Web Fonts that may meet these requirements

• https://fonts.google.com/?category=Sans+Serif&slant=1&thickness=6&width=6

Fonts that does meet the requirements:

• Roboto Condensed - acceptable thickness, good width even as condensed
• Oswald - good thickness variations, acceptable width
• Titillium Web - many good thickness variations, acceptable width

Fonts that does not meet the requirements:

• Josefin Sans - the numbers does not have the same upper and lower body style (they will look strange on the watch)
• Lato - same issue as with Josefin Sans (but not as apparent)
  • This one is a mabye. Needs to test on a real watch to make sure

TODO:

• Check all fonts in the filtered lists at Google Web Fonts and include and document them if they meet the requirements or not
• Test all fonts that meet the requirements in the simulator
• All that looks good in the simulator should be tested on a real device
• Strike-through all fonts that does not look good in the simulator
• Then choose the most readable font from the real device testing

Remember to install the font then select as font with the BMFont program (do not select the font file directly as additional font as this will result in the spacing of the characters to be wrong!)
