Publish to crates.io

Hi, it would be nice if these crates get published to crates.io 👍🏻

Btw nice lib, works like a charm. Many thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear that the code works for you.

There are still some issues left with the current code, which were supposed to be fixed by some almost finished unreleased code. But unfortunately I'm not working on any embedded-graphics related projects at the moment and I'm unsure when and if I will resume work on this.

Hi Ralf, thanks for you feedback. Currently, I use eg-bdf as (local) dependency in my project. While developing with it, I ran into some issues (mostly with positioning and aligning the rendered fonts) and some missing features. I have made some changes and additions to the code. Would you be interested in taking a PR to this project?

Furthermore I think this project can be of use to many using the embedded graphics lib (and its very limited standard font libs). Would you (or the maintainers of this project) agree if I publish the project on crates.io ?

My last comment about this project maybe sounded a bit to pessimistic about the future of this project. Some things have changes since then.

I'll dig out the code I wrote to fix some of the issues with eg-bdf and the associated tooling and try to commit the changes soon. If I remember correctly the code changes were pretty extensive so that PRs might not be very useful at this point. But help is always appreciated and if you want to create issues for the problems you found or create PRs after my changes are merged I would gladly take a look at them.

@rfuest FYI, this is the fork I'm currently running with in my app: https://github.com/eflukx/eg-bdf

I'd prefer if you let us publish this crate under the e-g org umbrella, though I appreciate it's a bit frustrating using git dependencies until we get round to it. I think it would be confusing for people to visit a fork of the repo from crates.io, for one.

Fully agree! (that's why is was asking.. ;))
