<p dir="auto">I'm dealing with M5Stack Fire, and I'm trying to display Portuguese characters on display, until now without success.</p>
<p dir="auto">So basically a simple program like</p>
<pre><code>#include &lt;M5Stack.h&gt;

void setup() {
  // Initialize the M5Stack
  M5.begin();
  
  // Clear the screen and display a message
  M5.Lcd.clear();
  M5.Lcd.setCursor(50, 50);
  M5.Lcd.print("Configuração está ok"); //Meaning: configuration it's ok
}

void loop() {
  // No need to put anything in loop for this example
}

</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">But this does not print the ç character, ã or even á.<br />
I tried to load a custom font, but this is not good, because then I can't set it's size dynamically.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there any way to make the M5Stack fire support these characters?</p>
