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

Well, it's not too hard...it's actually fairly easy.

However after a small amount of tinkering I can verify that:

Is indeed quite correct.

Info screens such as "Database Update progress", "Shutting Down" etc. just looked wrong put simply, the text exceeds the viewport.

If one were to know where these viewports are called for drawing it would almost certainly be possible to increase their dimensions, but you would have to download the Rockbox Source from SVN and compile your own build unless anyone else is interested enough in doing this and does it themselves, perhaps even upload a patch for it....
But failing that, building it yourself using CygWin, Linux or VMware is probably the fastest option.
And a chance to learn something about what makes Rockbox tick.

If you *REALLY* want to do it, it can be done.
There are probably quite a few features RockBox has currently which at one stage were thought to be "too hard" to implement, maybe even impossible but it still continues to grow to be the most feature-packed DAP firmware in existence to date (no exaggeration I'm sure).

I'm just saying that....it's not impossible, that's all.

Thank you very much for your input.
I just use a 14pt user font now. It displays very clear.
I'm enjoying rockbox now.

Thanks,
Kyle
