New taller sysfont

iPodVT:
I didn't see speachy's above reply until after I posted my reply that immediately followed it.

--- Quote from: iPodVT on March 05, 2025, 02:49:33 PM ---This brings up a few other questions:  does the new sysfont also use more horizontal space than the former sysfont?  Which font is used for displaying the database and file browsers' lists?  They don't appear to have changed (though I'm not confident re my perceptions of that), so I assume they're not using "sysfont".  Is there another generalized name (maybe "listfont"?) that is used for them?

--- End quote ---

Lists and other UI elements (that can contain translatable or user-supplied text) are displayed using the so-called "UI_FONT"

(The default UI_FONT typically varies based on the screen size and can be overridden by the theme)

iPodVT:
Cool - thanks for the info.

iPodVT:
I just now installed the dev build 3539dd5a70 update which reverts the sysfont - thanks.

Now (not at this moment... ;-) I need to go into my theme files and start adding font specifications so as to eliminate the assumptions I have been making re things like sysfont.  Thanks very much for bringing this 'better practice' to my attention.

Unrelated to this but brought to my attention by having updated two successive dev builds in fairly rapid succession, I am reminded of two minor Rockbox Utility issues that I've been meaning to report and will do so shortly on the Rockbox Utility forum.

iPodVT:
I want to unequivocally apologize for my testy overreaction to the changed sysfont yesterday.  It (my overreaction) was inappropriate and uncalled for.  Going forward I will try my best to be more diplomatically collaborative.

As well, I don't want to stand in the way of progress, so if no one else is affected by or has complained about the change, please do whatever is in the best interest of Rockbox, not my little as yet personal/private theme (which I have already modified to use a specifically named font (08-Schumacher-Clean.fnt) rather than sysfont for text in my status bar).

I've said it before and I'll say it again:  I love Rockbox, and it keeps getting better and better.
