Need help installing a font on my Pico LCD screen.

Hi, pretty much I'm working on a project and on my lcd documentation there is an 8x5 font that seems like it can be used with my screen and I need it, however it is a "C" file and I don't know how to work with that, for now i am stuck with framebuf 8x8. if anyone knows how to install this c file into my pico and screen it would be awesome! here is the documentation https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Pico-LCD-1.3#Bottom_hardware_interface scroll down the tiniest bit it says. on the website font8.c which is what I want. thanks :)
Haha I actually just bought a 1.3 LCD after I contacted Tech support and they told me to buy a new product. I said I'd rather repair it for $2
Let me look at the docs
its a nice little thing
i'm trying to recreate the superhot menu but since I only have the 8x8 font it doesn't fit on the screen, so i have an individual line of code for every letter and i ran out of memory before i could finish so i would rather use the 8x5 font
What's the 8x8 font you're using?
From the framebuf library
That's sick btw. I have VR but haven't played Superhot yet <:sad_cat:873457028981481473>
it's very fun I've only played the base game and a tiny bit of mind control delete
May I... See some Source code? 👉 👈<:SteamSus:911453412636389416>
You're not using C?
Its python
should i just attach the file

You actually had to separate these?!
It's the only way i could fit them in their sections :(
I think i may have found a solution but i need to test it
its all good now, I found an alternative font that works! happy days :)
Oh okay! If you still want to use that font you can import it into Python by converting it
I can still test it if you're interested in using that font, let me know
nah it's alright, all I needed was the thinner font to fit it all in. thanks for the offer anyways though!
