19-Nimbus.fnt missing from Sansa e200 widecabbie

[tcrass]

Hi there,

being incredibly happy that RockBox is now available at least as an official test build for the Sansa v2 target (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=22137.0), I was eager to try out some of the e200 themes (http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?target=e200). However, when extracting the widecabbie theme (http://themes.rockbox.org/themes/176x220/widecabbie/widecabbie.zip), I was a bit puzzled not to find the (accoding to the .rockbox/themes/widecabbie.cnf: required) 19-Nimubus.fnt file included. Does anyone know if I am missing somethig here, or if the theme archive is corrupted?

Generally I'd like to know if there is something like an official font archive for theme designers -- or if the binaries required to convert some "normal" font (e.g. a ttf file) into a RockBox fnt file are somehow available *without* installing the whole development tool chain...

There are lots of other extras too, just look under extras on the left of the home page.

Even cooler! :-) In particular the simulators promise to be very handy for tweaking themes since always uploading the corresponding files to the real device after every little change seems rather time-consuming...

So... does anyone know how to get the Sansa e200v2 simulator running smoothly under Wine?

Why would you try to use a Windows version of the simulator on Linux? It compiles for Linux just fine.

Because I'd like to just use the simulator without having to install the whole development toolchain? (Or am I again missing something, and there's simulator sources available which can be compiled with plain gcc?)

It's a simulator. It's a native Linux (or Windows) program that merely simulates the UI of the device. No cross-compiling is necessary.

Thanx for the info -- I successfuly checked out from svn and built the simulator. :-) (Don't know how came I previously missed the excellent wiki page about the simulator...)
