I am sorry but what kind of help you are looking for ?

What exact hardware are you talking about? Your first bit of research should be to google the hardware and find out if it has an SDK. Do you have any code so far?

The question is about front-end, so this is not very important. What is important, what is the API? Why this type of font is required, how about others? Is there per-pixel access, how fast is it?

Solution 1

1) If you want to use third party fonts that are not Windows native supported, you'll have to write you own parser to load those fonts and some kind of manager to render any text in them.

2)
What screen shot?

3)
We have no idea what you're talking about.

That's not going to happen. I don't give my email out to anyone and I'm not running any .EXE I didn't write myself.

Besides, I also don't have your LED hardware either.
