If using a font which is taller than terminalio.FONT the rows overlap because an assumed height is hard-coded.
A variant of the simpletext with a bigger font

"""Display the microcontroller CPU temperature in C and F on a display."""
import microcontroller
from adafruit_simple_text_display import SimpleTextDisplay

from adafruit_bitmap_font import bitmap_font
FONT = bitmap_font.load_font("/fonts/LibreBodoniv2002-Bold-27.bdf")  # A bigger font

temperature_data = SimpleTextDisplay(title="Temperature Data!", title_scale=2, font=FONT)

while True:
    temperature_data[0].text = "Temperature: {:.2f} degrees C".format(
        microcontroller.cpu.temperature
    )
    temperature_data[1].text = "Temperature: {:.2f} degrees F".format(
        (microcontroller.cpu.temperature * (9 / 5) + 32)
    )
    temperature_data.show()

@lesamouraipourpre
Add dynamic row heights based on font used. (Closes adafruit#3)
5113e33 
Deprecate 'title_length', ignore it for now. It is no longer needed with the update to Adafruit_CircuitPython_Display_Text removing 'max_glyphs'.

Refactor the scaling so that the 'text_scale' is not a multiple of the 'title_scale'.

Correctly add multiple rows with the color-cycling effect. Previously all new rows had the same color.
