This python script will convert a BDF bitmap font into the C header format expected by the Pico Graphics library from Pimoroni
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
BDF to Pimoroni bitmap font converter
Converts BDF bitmap fonts directly to Pimoroni bitmap font format.
BDF (Bitmap Distribution Format) is already a bitmap format, so this
doesn't require a TTF/WOFF render-to-bitmap step.
Usage:
python3 bdf2pimoroni.py -i input.bdf -o output.hpp -v variable_name

Core Philosophy & Architecture

  • Backend-Driven UI: The backend is the primary source of truth. It drives frontend state and logic by sending HTML patches, signal updates, or executable scripts to the client.
  • Hypermedia Approach: User actions trigger requests to the backend, which responds with changes to the UI, effectively determining the next set of possible user interactions.
  • Declarative Attributes: Use data-* attributes in HTML to handle all frontend reactivity, event handling, and communication with the backend.

Backend-to-Frontend Communication (Patching)
