would it also be possible to add custom fonts like for hebrew?

The fonts for u8glib are derived from BDF fonts: bdf2u8g tool
If you start from a hebrew BDF font converting and adding it to the font list might be feasible.

Here's a modified version that displays the character 'A'. Hardcoded.
I'm trying to build the OLED library as well but i'm very new to LUA and have no clue how arrays and bitwise operators work. After much struggle i figured out that BIT wise operators are not supported in the firmware, now trying to see if i can recompile the firmware to include support for bitwise operators. Meanwhile if someone manages to get this ahead, keep this thread updated.

Code: Select allid=0  -- need this to identify (software) IC2 bus?
sda=5 -- connect to pin GPIO14
scl=7 -- connect to pin GPIO12
addr=0x3C -- the I2C address of our device

i2c.setup(id,sda,scl,i2c.SLOW)

function read_reg(dev_addr, reg_addr)
     i2c.start(id)
     i2c.address(id, dev_addr ,i2c.TRANSMITTER)
     i2c.write(id,reg_addr)
     i2c.stop(id)
     i2c.start(id)
     i2c.address(id, dev_addr,i2c.RECEIVER)
     c=i2c.read(id,1)
     i2c.stop(id)
     return c
end

function write_reg(dev_addr, reg_addr, reg_val)
     i2c.start(id)
     i2c.address(id, dev_addr, i2c.TRANSMITTER)
     i2c.write(id, reg_addr)
     i2c.write(id, reg_val)
     i2c.stop(id)
end

function oled_command(cmd)
     write_reg(addr,0x00,cmd)
end

function display()
oled_command(0x21) -- set column addresses
oled_command(0x00) -- reset column start address
oled_command(0x7F) -- reset column end address
oled_command(0x22) -- set page addresses
oled_command(0x00) -- reset page start address
oled_command(0x07) -- reset page end address
end

function init_oled() -- Initialises the 128x64 oled
print("starting")
oled_command(0xAE) -- turn off oled panel

oled_command(0x14) -- set(0x10) disable

oled_command(0xAF) -- turn on oled panel
print("Init done")
end

function fill()
     for m=0,7 do
          oled_command(0xb0+m)
          oled_command(0x00)
          oled_command(0x10)
          for n=0,131 do
               write_reg(addr,0x40,0x00)               
          end
         
     end
end

function OLED_ShowChar()
     x=2
     y=60
          OLED_SetPos(x,y)
          write_reg(addr,0x40,0x7C)
          write_reg(addr,0x40,0x12)
          write_reg(addr,0x40,0x11)
          write_reg(addr,0x40,0x12)
          write_reg(addr,0x40,0x7C)
     
end
function OLED_SetPos(x,y)
     oled_command(0xb0+y)
     oled_command(0x10)
     oled_command(0x01)

init_oled()

OLED_ShowChar()

Thk for this snippet. I hope LUA lib will come one day
