*NEW!* Rockbox Font Converter! With GUI!

(1/6) > >>

motionman95:
I've basically made a remake of the Rockbox Font Converter that already exists in the Wiki. Except that now, its like 20x more user friendly, it has a GUI, and I think I've made it much easier if you're converting multiple files.

Here's how it works:
1.) Specify the directory that contains the ttf/otf file(s) you wish to convert
2.) Specify the font size
3.) Press "Convert"!

The progress window (launched after you press "Convert") gives a very detailed description of what file is currently being converted, as well as the overall and current file percentage of completion. Also, it includes no additional files! Just one exe, and you can easily convert fonts!

Should I create a Wiki page for it?

Download:
Edit: Link removed until proper licensing is established.

Here's two screenshots! :P

Please, test it to the fullest, and notify me of the bugs! Feature suggestions are welcome!

Which font converter is this based on? Where's the license? Is there source code?

Yes, but I've decided not to post it.

Llorean:
"Uhh...." is not an appropriate answer.

Did you use the code of any previous program (if it's based on one, it sounds like the answer is yes). If so, what was the previous program's license that gave you permission to do so, and what license is your new code under?

These are questions that must be answered.

And if it includes parts of convbdf (which it seems to have to, since it's a single executable that's doing its job) then it needs to be GPLv2+ compatible, and you need to release the source code when someone requests it (such as me doing so, now).

I've removed the link for now as per the standard policy of not allowing copyright violations on the forums. When you clear it up, we can put it back.

I didn't use any of his code. I just read the wiki page, and after viewing the thread, I discovered what his method was. So to make it clear, I DID NOT TAKE ANY OF HIS CODE. I simple used his method. And to make that even clearer, I've coded this application in a completely different language.

However, the Convbdf and otf2bdf executable is embedded in my application.
Also, earlier when you asked "Where's the license?", I was confused, because I didn't know I needed a license.
