}


in above code trying use matrix segments 0-7 individually single zones using zone numbering 3-10, use them @ time using zone 2

but why not able print properly

that's not how zones work. cannot define module in more 1 zone. give undefined results each 1 updates display independently.

by way, if have developed hindi font can send me font definition file (source rather c++ code) can include in distribution? pm me email address.
