Also (and this bit is a bit embarrasing for me, I must say) I haven’t
found an easy way to scroll text using just jit.lcd. I would prefer not
having to resort to jit.rota or similar madness (which I usually do, but
I digress).
Would it be a case of: moveto xy, text, clear, moveto x2y2, etc?

‘oh, and this is for the continuation of this project:

The video looks great!

I might suggest checking out the c74:/java/help/StockWatch.help
example. There’s a “StringScroller” java class which you might even
be able to just use “out of the box”.

I am struggling to write directly to the lcd, since font and size setup
is a bit peculiar to me, I really dig the stockwatch, though.

Can you tell me how to select it in jit.lcd though? I don’t know which
font ID to use, and it isnt quite clear what the “specific” font name is
- the font file is called slkscr.ttf….

Thanks,
Andreas.

I have a font called “small fonts”, that works wonders at low settings –
even readable at point-size 6, whereas silkscreen didn’t really cut it
at that size (anti-aliasing? It looked like it.)

Anyway, here is (more or less) a fully functional low-res scroller,
using “Small Fonts” – again, thank you all for the help:
