New Alphabet
devoinregress:
I have ideas for a two new fonts, cross stich pattern and more importantly Wim Crowel's New Alphabet.
The problem is, How do I make rockbox .fnt files? Can I do that through FontLab? What program do I use and how do I do that. I think the new alphabet will be perfect for rockbox due to resolution and size limitations.
Llorean:
All you need is a tool that can export a BDF font. We provide a tool to convert from BDF to Rockbox FNT.
devoinregress:
So it looks like I should make it in FontForge.
terrence1019:
This looks like a promising font. One of the issues faced with making themes is having an ideal font to complement them. It thing that we should do like devoinregress and karashata (creator of acknowledge-12) and begin working on new fonts.
karashata:
If I could find a Windows-based BDF font editor I'd clean up some of the fonts I made since there are a few that didn't turn out quite as nice as I'd have liked. That being said, I did make a variety of fonts that are readable in Rockbox, though most are only 10 and 12 pixels high (line height) since my DAP has a rather small screen. I have the fonts in a zip file on my computer and I can dump the zip onto a file hosting site if anyone wants them, and the TTF files I converted them from are freely available if anyone wants to make larger versions of any of those fonts. One note, though: If anyone does make larger fonts, it will take some trial and error to find out what point sizes make what line height.
