Font Settings Disappear?

(1/2) > >>

philz:
Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post; this is my first post to the forums.  I did attempt to search for an answer to this but (probably my own fault) I didn't find anything.

My font settings (doesn't matter what I choose, behaviour is the same regardless) apparently get reset back to the default after a power down / power up cycle.    Is there a setting somewhere that I'm supposed to use to get the system to remember this?

After power down/up is complete my initial screen, with "files", "database" and so on is in such a small font as to be virtually unreadable.

This is on a Gigabeat F40 which I'm using to familiarize myself with Rockbox before I put it on my F60.

Thank you

Llorean:
What SVN revision are you using, and how are you selecting the font?

philz:
By "SVN" I am assuming you mean version?  In that case, it is R13955-070722

I am setting the font via "settings -> general -> display -> browse fonts" and then choosing one of the larger ones (these 56 year old eyes ain't so hot anymore)

I also lose the backlight settings I make .. I change them to 90 seconds, when I power back on they're set to 5 seconds.

Am I supposed to be *saving* these new settings somewhere?  If so, I'm clearly missing the where's and how's of that.

Thank you, again

By the way, that may have been the faster response I've EVER gotten to any questions I've EVER asked in any type of forum, anywhere.    I'm *incredibly* impressed.

Llorean:
Please always verify that a problem happens with the current version before reporting anything. Yours is five days old. There's been a bug in settings saving that has been fixed recently, which is why we require in the guidelines that you be using the absolute latest build at any time you report something.

Try it, and see if it resolves your problem.

philz:
I didn't realize that builds occured so frequently, thank you for that heads up.  I'll be sure to install the latest before posing questions in the future.

Having said that I did upgrade, now on R14031-070727 with the same results.   Changed the font to "nimbus14" and changed the display time-off settings to 90 secs.  Turned off / turned on ... system reverts to small fonts on main menu, and backlight off at 5 or 10 seconds.

:-(

Phil
