Font: Myriad

(1/1)

mipodr:
Is anyone able to convert fonts, because I have decided that I'm tired of people going nuts when they look at my ipod. I want it to be as close as I can get it to the original (just when I'm around friends). (Yes I know about rockbox's lack of anti-aliasing) I would really appreciate a rockbox font of Myriad. It's techinically copyrighted or something, but I own/have the font, and if you convert it for me I don't think their will be issues. Myriad, font, Please!

I can upload.. but not sure if i should do that.

Llorean:
You can convert it for yourself. Giving it to anyone else, even for conversion purposes, would be copyright infringement.

But if you have it as a truetype font, you can use font forge to convert to BDF, then bdfconv (included with the rockbox source in the tools folder) to make it into a .fnt.

I have to ask though, if you so badly want the iPod look, why not just use its original firmware?

ParaplegicSK8ER:
I'm guessing he wants it to look like the original firmware but still have the kick ass options and abilities that rockbox has that the original firmware does not. Me, I don't really care what rockbox looks like, just as long as I can read the font and have a decent background. I never really got into themes and wps's. Plus rockbox has refused to go into my fonts folder when I go to change my fonts in the settings so I just stop caring about what it looks like haha.

Yotto:
Actually, he said why he wanted it, though I don't quite get it.  My friends all think Rockbox is cool (though none of them have taken the important step).

However, if you use one of the ipod WPSs, a casual glance will fool the... Casual glancer.  No matter what you do, rockbox won't hide from more than a casual glance anyway because you can't change the menus and functionality back to Apple's without booting to the original firmware.
