That would be pretty nice, but I think it would take a decent amount of work to get it working, and to a point where it's not lagging the interface while the fonts are being drawn. Also, both of these would require getting translucency into Rockbox, something I'm fairly certain isn't there currently.
By the way, has anyone else noticed how off-topic this thread has gotten..?

Yes, it sure would make it even harder to implement translucency smoothly, but I think it should be considered if the font system gets an overhaul anyway.
and yes.. this is pretty off-topic. could a moderator split this thread into two, please?
karashata:
Just to get another word in...
What would be nice, in my opinion, would be if the font system could be made to use .ttf and .otf fonts rather than a specific format. I suspect, though, that *that* particular wish may be difficult to implement well...
...I have never wished more that I knew how to code better than I do... That would actually be a fun challange, to impliment .ttf and .otf fonts in a reasonable system that makes choosing a font and a size relatively painless...
Chronon:
I split the topic as neatly as I could. Hopefully the two discussions still make sense.

Nice one, Chronon!
I think everything here makes enough sense, and I'm sure once discussion picks up, what little lack of sense someone might have shouldn't be an issue anymore anyway.
ZincAlloy:
thanks a lot, Chronon!
