If remove 'proportional' then

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testweather.py", line 119, in <module>
    draw.text((0, (idx*8)-1), item, fill="white", font=LCD_FONT)

If you want to use the legacy fonts then you must also use the legacy text draw methods, not the pillow methods. See https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.led_matrix/blob/master/examples/matrix_demo.py

from luma.core.legacy import text

...

text(draw, (0, (idx*8)-1), item, fill="white", font=proportional(LCD_FONT))
