Method ilcd.Extra.setFontOffset

static void setFontOffset(int offset)

_INSERT_METHOD_SIGNATURE_HERE_

Parameter	Range	Description
offset	0 ... max. font index - 1	offset of the font index

Sets an offset for the font index (see Attribute.setFont(int)).

This functionality can be used to support multiple languages without conditional methods or macros. For example, if the fonts for the English language are indexed 0 to 9 and for the German language 10 to 19, setting the Font Offset to 10 will automatically select the German fonts instead of the corresponding English ones.
When addressing fonts by name, a prefix or suffix can be used to realize language switching. (see Extra.setFontNamePrefix(String) or Extra.setFontNameSuffix(String)).
The default value for offset is 0. It will be automatically set to default on startup and by the methods General.resetAll() or General.rebootPanelController() if the "Extras on Reset" option on the "Settings" page of iLCD Manager XEJoC Manager is set to "Clear". Selecting "Keep" allows for using the reset methods without loosing e.g. the selected language.

Example

Extra.setFontOffset(3);

Attribute.setFont(1);

Draw.writeText("Hello World!");

Sets the font offset to 3. The subsequently called method to select the font with index 1 will now set the font with index 4 instead.
