Converting Iriver FW Fonts into RockBox-Compatible Fonts...

<< < (2/4) > >>

darkarn:
Thanks for the heads up on the UnicodeFonts page, but problem is, these fonts made the matter worse as my WPS sometimes does not show the name of the next song to be played.

Is there any way to convert the fonts used by Iriver firmware into one that RockBox can use?

EDIT: I tried using the Iriver fonts as its own. It shrunk all letters greatly and turned all my Japanese characters into squares. What gives?

BdN3504:
I also am encountering difficulties when trying to display various characters. I just downloaded the latest fontpack and chose the gnu unifont. Now in the menu, everything is displayed correctly, but in the wps "è" for example is simply left out. ("frère" reads "frre" in the wps). This needs to be fixed somehow... Shall i file a bug report?

No, not until this is clearly a bug: the wps takes the data to be displayed from the files metadata (id3 on mp3, vorbis comments for ogg, etc.). Especially id3 can be problematic here as old versions don't include an encoding (id3v1 tags don't tell about their encoding, and it could be any encoding around). Please check your codepage setting and the encoding of your tags -- I'm quite confident that this is simply caused by a wrong codepage setting.

BdN3504:
You're right, but it's still not working correctly.
When i use utf-8 as default codepage (i thought unifont includes all fonts) i get the omissions. Using "Central European" only works for "é"; "è" for example displays as something completely different (a c with lines above and underneath it). I use the godfather to rename my files and i use it on every single file. And within godfather i always check that ID3v1 and ID3v2.3 are present, so where is the problem?

Thank you. Using the default codepage proposed in the manual (Latin1 ISO-8859-1) solves my issue. Now back to the original topic (sorry for the interruption).

You may also try using a different codepage (Japanese SJIS), codepage setting can be found via Main Menu -> Settings -> General Settings -> Display -> Default Codepage

darkarn:
Thanks! That kind of solved my problems! Apparently, once you do that, all Unicode characters can appear normally unless the chosen font is smaller than 13...

Anyway, has anyone tried to convert Iriver firmware's fonts to RockBox-compatible fonts? I still prefer Iriver firmware's fonts...
