Where to extract the fonts package?

Hi Guys, first time ipod user and I am putting your awesome rockbox on it so I don't have to put itunes on the PC and can play .flac files.

I managed to get the build and bootloader on ok thanks to the manual but I have now downloaded the fonts pack to my PC's desktop. Where do I extract the file too?

Thanks,

Steve.

Same place you extracted the rockbox.zip to - i.e. your ipod.

rasher:
Specifically the root (top-level directory) of your ipod.

Thanks for the replies, do I put it in the rockbox folder or on the same level?

So option 1 = L:\.rockbox\fonts

Option 2 = \L:\fonts

I figured it with help from some guys at headfi but can I please suggest the manual should say" Download the fonts pack to your desktop, the extract all files to the rockbox file in the root of your ipod, eg. L:\.rockbox\fonts

I had trouble with the bootloader too, the manual just says download it. It doesn't say where to download it. And it turns out you don't download it at all, just Run it.

Just a suggestion to make it easier for idiots like me! I guess it is kept difficult to discourage idiots though.

We don't say this, because that's wrong.

L:\.rockbox\fonts isn't the root of the player, and it isn't where you should extract the rockbox-fonts.zip file to.

The manual includes a link to exactly where to download ipodpatcher, which is the program which installs the bootloader. The bootloader is no longer required as a seperate download and hasn't been for a very long time.
