font5x8.bin

[DrNebin]

I am getting this error.

Could not find font file font5x8.bin
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 42, in
File "adafruit_max7219/matrices.py", line 75, in text
File "adafruit_framebuf.py", line 507, in text
File "adafruit_framebuf.py", line 581, in init
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file/directory: font5x8.bin

I have the bin file and tried placing it in the library folder on the device but still get the error. The library still has this issue and if anyone knows how to resolve it (i.e. where I am to place the bin file) please let me know.

I used the bin file found here and simply placing it in the root directory (next to code.py) did the trick for me.
