Some fonts converted to ttf?
« on: April 05, 2007, 02:59:07 PM »
Is there any way I could get a font or a few fonts converted to ttf font type?  I want to write a wysiwyg editor for themes and stuff and I'd just like to see how deep I would be getting myself.

If you used true type font format, what you see will be different from what you get. Use the Rockbox format or bdf.

All I am saying is that I can not install these fonts as is on my system, so I cant add them to my program.  I cannot find a way to convert either.

Why do you need to convert? Rockbox contains code for handling the fonts already. If you want it to be what you see is what you get you should be using identical algorithms to Rockbox. You could use the simulator as a starting point.
