-==== Little helpers ==== 
- 
-FantomXR discovered some software that can be of great help when creating fonts,... (Thank you very much!). 
- 
-=== Knobman === 
- 
-With this software you can easily generate stacked knob/bar images. After you´re done, just cut the individual step images and paste them in your Gimp image.\\ 
-Just remember to use only black and white. Also, in the "​effects"​ tab, you should disable "​Antialiasing"​. Otherwise your black knobs will have gray transitions.

-=== Bitmap Font Builder === 
- 
-This is very helpful to create LCD compatible fonts. Just choose a font you like and it gets transformed and displayed. Save it as a *.bmp file and import the whole image into your Gimp image.
