(non-denominational-) santa brought you all a nice pressy!

<< < (5/5)

JdGordon:
i guess I should say this has been abandoned for the time being... more interesting patches in the works (well, for me anyway...)
Hopefully this prompts someone to work on a full multifont patch

karashata:
I successfully got the old multifont patch working some time ago, though I've since discarded it since any attempts to make it reuse existing code ended up breaking things...

I could grab that patch off the tracker and sync it to SVN while making the adjustments necessary to make it work, but after that it would take someone with real coding experience to make it work more efficiently and reuse the existing code more rather than adding a lot of new code to manage each separate font...

karashata:
I was just commenting on JdGordon's comment about someone making a proper multifont patch...

I admit this has its advantages, mostly in the eye-candy department where it lends itself to some nicer looking themes, but multifont would ultimately be better since it would allow for multiple fonts to be used (which would _really_ come in handy with targets with LCD remotes, most notably the H300 with it's decently sized main screen and rather tiny remote screen...)

karashata:
I doubt this feature, if (and probably when) it's committed, would be removed once full and proper multi-font support is added, since the fonts can't compete with precisely tailored bitmaps when it comes to eye-candy...

Llorean:
The real question is whether this feature will get committed at all. I agree that it's nicer eye candy that multifont, but it's up to some debate as to whether it really adds enough that it's worth including alongside multifont, or whether we should just go with multifont on its own.

Remember, eye-candy is only a secondary focus at best, and we certainly don't have a trend to include every possible eye-candy idea.
