Does anybody know how to change the built-in system font?

The default font is too small for asia language display.
I can set some Viewport to use user fonts, but some Viewport needs to be displayed by default font.
Can I replace the built-in system font with other font? Or can I set mutilple user fonts?
Sorry for my poor English  :-[ :-[
Wish you can understand me.....
Thanks,
Kyle

You can't replace the sysfont except by recompiling Rockbox from source. No idea if you would run into additional issues here, but I guess so.

Kyle,

I'm sure you probably *could* replace the font in the source and then recompile it.

But to the best of my knowledge you could only change the system font style, and not the font size (with any degree of ease that is...)

Not at least without first finding and changing everything that expects the font to be in 8pt....and I'm not sure how hard/easy this would be to do.

Even if you were to change which font was called in the code (either the system font or a user defined font), you would have to increase the size of a great many number of viewports to allow for the increase in font size otherwise you'd get cutoff/incorrect display of the text.


Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong please anyone...as I wouldn't mind replacing the System font with a 12pt font myself but put it in the "too hard" basket for the above reasons.


Sincerely,
[St.]

I dont know if anyone has ever actually tried replacing the sysfont... it shuold be possible and pretty simple, but if you use a size that isnt 8pt fixed width some screen will break and maybe crash.

kyleji:
Thank you very much!
So it's too hard to me to replace the system font.

I found some themes which display are acceptable with a 14pt font size. I'm using one of these themes now.

Thanks,
Kyle
