+## Simple method to generate a font
+
+If you want to generate a basic font containing only numbers and letters, you can use the above settings but instead of specifying a range, simply list the characters you need in the Symbols field and leave the range blank. This is the approach used for the PineTimeStyle watchface.
+This works well for fonts which will only be used to display numbers, but will fail if you try to add a colon or other punctuation.
+
+* Open the [LVGL font converter](https://lvgl.io/tools/fontconverter)
+* Name : open_sans_light
+* Size : 150
+* Bpp : 1 bit-per-pixel
+* Do not enable font compression and horizontal subpixel hinting
+* Load the file `open_sans_light.tff` (use the file in this repo to ensure the version matches) and specify the following symbols : `0123456789`
+* Click on Convert, and download the file `open_sans_light.c` and copy it in `src/DisplayApp/Fonts`
+* Add the font .c file path to src/CMakeLists.txt (search for jetbrains to find the appropriate location/format)
+* Add an LV_FONT_DECLARE line in src/libs/lv_conf.h (as above)

#### Navigation font
To create the navigtion.ttf I use the web app [icomoon](https://icomoon.io/app)
