It was forced on me, ironically enough, by almost the same problem you were facing. I needed to right-align an LED display for an INS system but mine was mono-spaced. I thought I'd found just the right font but unfortunately the figure 1 is completely misaligned. Back to searching.... :(-Dai

Dai, I do believe this gentleman has a free font you can use, assuming you are looking for a 7-segment, mono-spaced, italic LED font:http://www.twyman.org.uk/Fonts/-or-http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/attachment...nt-lcd_font.zipThere are many variations on the 7-segment LED format (mistakenly called "LCD" in the zip filename). :)

Be carefull!

Why not use a string class to manipulate strings then use c_str() to convert to a c-string?

// Borland C++ BuilderString s; // String to be paddedint p; // Length of padded stringchar cs[256]; // C-stringwhile (p > s.Length())	s = " " + s; strcpy(cs, s.c_str());

Be carefull!

Of what? The links I posted? I wouldn't post links to files I hadn't already confirmed were safe... :(

Hi BillI recognise those URLs: Twyman is the one with the offset figure one and the other is based on a 14-segment display. :( If it wasn't for the figure one, Twyman would be perfect for this INS system.-Dai

Are you wanting the 1 to be the leftmost two segments or the rightmost two segments? The Twyman font and at least two of the others are the two rightmost segments, which is what I needed...I only needed the numbers though, so could care less about the letters and punctuation. :(

To get something reasonably realistic looking for the LED display I overlaid the orange (on) numbers over the top of some dark grey (off) figure eights (8). That's when I discovered that the figure one is offset from the right of the seven segment display. [Picture removed - see edit].I took another look at the LCD fonts you suggested but as I'd remembered, the centre crossbar is composed of two sections. -DaiEDIT: It's not Twyman - it's the way FS displays monospaced strings. I've tried three other LED/LCD-type fonts (commercial and freeware) and find that they all print the figure one offset from the right in the situation described above. So, two choices - solve the offset problem or dispose of the 'off' segments underneath. Guess which is the easiest and the least satisfying...

Oy veh! I see what you mean. Fortunately, my display doesn't need the "grey unlighted segments..."
