I find it awful, but it's not my site.

Hmm, you mentioning the space on the left made me notice it.
Zooming in fixes it for me (and makes the text easier to read.)

At first I had no idea what you talked about Griff. Until I realised that I only visit The Lounge. On the main page poor Bob is severely severed. : (

And the (expandable) "tree view" (TOC) is usually on the left.
(It's now tucked in between ads, while the left is "empty")

Have to admit it, but I actually hadn't noticed.

I have someone using my GFX library for a project of theirs.
They need a really tall font to show up large enough on their screen. Raster doesn't seem to be in the equation because I can't find 40px high raster fonts in a format digestible by any major IoT graphics libraries.
So TrueType it is. The trouble is, he doesn't have the RAM on his widget to load a TTF into memory. It must be embedded as a .h header file and streamed from the "program flash" space.
It works, but it's not fast. I need to make it fast, or he's out of luck, and his fairly simple use case blows a sizable hole in my own project.
*cracks knuckles*
This is coding. This kind of thing gets the blood flowing for me. I'm behind the 8-ball and only being smarter than the hardware is going to get me out of that predicament.
EDIT: IT WORKS. Using it from a header is plenty fast enough even on a WROOM: ttgo_ttf_mock/main.cpp at master · codewitch-honey-crisis/ttgo_ttf_mock · GitHub[^]

If it is only one font at only one size, it shouldn't be too hard!

It actually is if the characters overlap. At least doing it quickly, since at that point a straight blt is off the table.
And if you're not doing a straight blt and you can afford that, well then you have options.
Some people's options were to make a tool to render monospaced TTF to alpha blended antialiased bitmaps which could then be overlapped.
Mine was just to support truetype. But I may do the other thing too for platforms other than an ESP32. TTF is big.

I can really identify with that; many times when I was starting out as an engineer (who also programed what he designed) I was told that something can't be done. That just got me fired up, and I went ahead and did it. Don't ever tell me I can't, because I will do it.
Good job!

Hi all, I usually do the daily wordle on my Surface Pro, today I tried to access the NYT site from my laptop and got a blank page - WTF ?
Edit
Just tried it using Edge and it works so I guess it's a Firefox problem

Correct - the solution to Wordle OTD was indeed BLANK.

What browser are you using? Chrome for me - and it works on desktop, Surface, and Android phone; I just checked.
Have you tried a different one?
CTRL+F5?
Is it a work lappie? Possibly with NYT domain blacklisted?

You may want to let the Wordle help desk know.

I do hope you have better lawyers than the NYT ...

I suggest moving it to 'The Wierd and The Wordleful'

I agree, it's getting too much like spam.
