Please remove the custom font usage or add note

[RichardA1]

It was very confusing to have to deal with the custom font usage for the display_button_simpletest.py example.

Please add a note to line 22 letting people know that they need to add the font file to a directory named fonts on CIRCUITPY. I would also suggest that you just remove the custom font and use the terminalio.FONT to bring the focus back to simple button use. Maybe put the custom font option in comments.

Thanks :)

hi you can submit a PR and we'll take a look

Before removing the font altogether, please note that some projects currently use this such as https://learn.adafruit.com/pyportal-calculator-using-the-displayio-ui-elements/initial-setup

My suggestion would be to add some more buttons to the simpletest that just use terminalio.FONT so users can see additional usage without the custom fonts.

@makermelissa I'm not seeing how changing display_button_simpletest.py here would affect the calculator code? Maybe I'm missing something.

Could we make display_button_simpletest.py just use terminalio.FONT. And then we can add another demo, like display_button_font.py or something to show use of custom fonts.

Ah, I may have misread that when I posted. That sounds good to me.
