Text and bars looking offcenter on my 5g video....
« on: October 17, 2006, 05:20:12 AM »
I have been using Rockbox for probably 3 hours.  HAHA!  Anyways...I think this is pretty groovy.  I am having a problem and I can't seem to find an answer however.  When i switch to a different theme rather than the default theme the text such as the song name etc. and also the bars such as the bar that shows how far along you are in a song are offcenter.  Most times they look like they are like two spaces below where they should be.  I have checked all the settings and changed all my fonts.  Same thing...anyone ever seen this or how to fix this?  Thanks...

Is this with all themes?

You say you have changed all the fonts, what do you mean by this?

Yeah with all the themes....what I mean by changing the fonts is...

When i downloaded a few themes they came with fonts.  When i switched to those particular themes I assumed the fonts would change as well since they were packaged with those particular themes.  For some reason the fonts didn't change so I just went into the settings and selected them myself.

See how everything that "changes" is like 2 lines below...this is with every theme for some reason.

You need to download and put the fonts into Rockbox.

See here

http://www.rockbox.org/dl.cgi?bin=fonts

I keep a folder called .rockbox on my computer. I keep the fonts in there, as well as all the themes I use. When I download a new version of Rockbox I paste a copy of my .rockbox onto the newly downloaded one, and it puts them all in the correct place :)

Are you running an official CVS or daily build of Rockbox, or did your theme require a special build?

Fonts have been separate for a month or so now. I just keep them in that .rockbox folder and dont notice them at all.

As mnhnhyouh said, fonts are not included in the daily downloads as they change very little, but are available as a separate download.

It depends, some WPS authours include the necessary font (in case the person does not have it installed), and some don't :-\
