IMHO the best solution would be to look for a 7-segment font. There must be one freely available. If not it can't be too hard to make one. Anyway while they may still around in the audio-world, in Film Post-Prod 7seg displays are not that common anymore. Timecode is rendered nicely on the picture :) FWIW: if you're into tinkering: I built a jack-transport and LTC display using real 7 segment displays and a arduino a while ago: http://rg42.org/gitweb/?p=arduino.git;a=tree > Niels > http://nielsmayer.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
