Hi,

I just added some simple 7 segment font types- check out http://www.espruino.com/Fonts#font-modules

However, there's now some 'font maker' code which is included in the (unminified) font comments at https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoDocs/blob/master/modules/Font5x7Numeric7Seg.js

Basically if you update the width, height, and 7 segment image at the top:

var W = 7; // width +1 for empty column
var H = 11;
var base = `
 aaaa
f    b
f    b
f    b
f    b
 gggg
e    c
e    c
e    c
e    c
 dddd `;

Then run the code on Espruino it'll generate a font for you that matches the image you gave.

It could be a nice way of coming up with stylised fonts of exactly the right size, and nothing stops someone improving the digits array to include the full character set :)
