DancePuffDuo no longer looks right in IAudio X5

<< < (2/2)

LinusN:
Plus that the Chicago font in Rockbox was lousy, it only supported 7-bit ASCII.

The problem here is that the chicago-12.fnt even though called "12" seems to have been 13 pixels tall. There is one other included WPS that is affected by the change, besides "DancPuffDuo" it is also "marquee".

I wanted to fix this and try to invent a nimbus-13.fnt - first by just adding a blank line above or below the current 12-point characters and then drawing a proper fix... if I could just figure out what setting to change in fontforge to achieve this... :-\

Lear:
Should be enough to edit the BDF file directly, changing a few lines to this:

SIZE 13 78 78
FONTBOUNDINGBOX 11 13 0 -2
FONT_ASCENT 11

That fixed the height, but the glyph positioning is slightly different compared to the original (the extra line is located above the glyphs). The line can be put below the glyphs by doing this instead:

SIZE 13 78 78
FONTBOUNDINGBOX 11 13 0 -3
FONT_DESCENT 3

Mikerman:
From prior experimentation, Marquee will work with a number of other fonts--Chicago just seemed like a good compromise as to size/readability.

pixelma:
Thanks to Lear, the "fix" is now in SVN. DancePuffDuo and marquee use nimbus-13 now and are aligned properly again.
