Nice font that supports chinese?
« on: May 17, 2010, 08:16:51 AM »
Hi. Any of you know of any nice, neat and clean font that supports chinese/jap for the clip+?

Ive tried converting simhei, simsun, fireflysung with unsatisfactory results.
This is mostly because the small screen of the clip+ means i have to have my fonts in size 7 and because those fonts are kinda roundish, they become abit squashed up in small sizes.

So is there a font that supports chinese which at least has english fonts as neat and clean as the rockbox default font? Its alright if the chinese fonts are abit squished. TIA!

http://rasher.dk/rockbox/fontstats/ is a listing of which fonts have which codepages. it looks like you are pretty much out of luck thoguh

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

There's a unicode BDF here that looks like size 14 or 15.  It could probably be converted to Rockbox format:

I believe that's the font Rockbox's "unifont" is based off (not 100% sure if it's exactly the same but I think so). It is a 16 pixels tall font in Rockbox though which means 16 is the total line height the font needs.

thnx for the suggestions

Tried converting the unifont to size 7 but the fonts still looks abit distorted on my clip. Im guessing its cause these fonts arnt meant to be viewed at such small sizes.

Anymore suggestions?
