Distribute bitmap fonts in PIL format with the debian package

See original GitHub issue

See @dlech’s comments in ev3dev/ev3dev#751 on how to actually do this.

Besides packaging the fonts with the library, I would also provide a helper function for their easy consumption. Something like font('<name>_<size>') so that the following is possible:

import ev3dev.ev3 as ev3
screen = ev3.Screen()
screen.draw.text('Hello', font=ev3.font('<name>_<size>'))

@WasabiFan, I guess this may wait for after we release 0.7.0?

You have six hours 😉

But more seriously, yes I think it should wait. That doesn’t mean it can’t be released soon, though; we could release 0.7.1 tomorrow if you’d like. I support the idea, I just want to make sure that we get this release finished at some point.
