Description
A minimalist, elegant, geeky Garmin watch face that displays the current time as Roman numerals.
To display hours (0-23) and minutes (0-59), the following Roman digits are used:
Value Digit
0 N
1 I
5 V
10 X
50 L
Roman numerals are formed by adding the values of all digits forming a numeral, with the exception of numerals forming a subtractive notation:
Value Digits
4 IV
9 IX
40 XL
Thus, 23:59 is XXIII LIX, and 9:44 is IX XLIV.
The watch face shows time as:
* either hours minutes in one line;
* or hours over minutes, in two lines.
Note: The mode can be selected in the app settings, at any time (pun intended), on the watch.
Due to the size of Roman numerals, the font size in single line mode has tighter limits than in two-line mode. Otherwise, the time would at times (pun intended) extend past the boundaries of the watch face. In particular, XXIV XXXVIII is the longest pair of numeral to be displayed, and it dictates the limit on font size for the single-line mode.
The watch face uses custom fonts, as the built-in fonts do not provide large enough typeface for non-numeric data. The font presented here is Asap Condensed, available from Google Fonts as a True Type font (ttf). It has been converted to a bitmap font (bmp, fnt) using the open source command-line ttf2bmp converter.
