Question before going ahead

Llorean:
Why not just tell us what problem you're actually having?

bluebrother:
Rockbox Utility can do all the installation stuff for you, including the fonts. Why do you have trouble installing the fonts?

--- Quote ---Installing the firmware

   1. Download your chosen version of Rockbox from the links in the previous section.
   2. Connect your player to the computer via USB or Firewire as described in the manual that came with your player.
   3. Take the .zip file that you downloaded and use the “Extract all” command of your unzip program to extract the files onto your player.

      Note: The entire contents of the .zip file should be extracted directly to the root of your player’s drive. Do not try to create a separate directory on your player for the Rockbox files! The .zip file already contains the internal structure that Rockbox needs.

Note: If the contents of the .zip file are extracted correctly, you will have a directory called .rockbox, which contains all the files needed by Rockbox, in the main directory of your player’s drive. If you receive a “-1” error when you start Rockbox, you have not extracted the contents of the .zip file to the proper location.

Installing the fonts package

Rockbox has a fonts package that is available at http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml or from the extras link in the menu on the Rockbox website. While the current builds and daily builds change frequently, the fonts package rarely changes and is therefore not included in these builds. When installing Rockbox for the first time, you should install the fonts package. The release version, on the other hand, does not change, so fonts are included with it.

   1. Download the fonts package from the link above.
   2. Take the file that you downloaded above, and use the “Extract all” command of your unzip program to extract the files in the .zip file onto your player. As with the firmware installation, the entire contents of the fonts .zip should be extracted directly to the root of your player’s drive. Do not try to create a separate directory on your player for the fonts! The .zip already contains the correct internal structure.

the firmware zip and the fonts zip BOTH contains same folder name ".rockbox" --- that's the problem, no ?
I have place firmware zip on iPod....what now with the fonts ?

Llorean:
There's no problem, the files shouldn't replace each other. They should be merged.

matelot:
what I do is extract to Desktop then copy over to iPod....so what to do with the fonts .rockbox ?
