I'll have to double check white with a black outline (and vice versa) today, but I highly doubt it.

[Linky] edit: added some links to post #1 padlets wrote ... can someone make new firmware with ariel font? i whant to check if i can see files in hebrew. Thanks. [Linky] Although this one isn't Unicode, the Unicode version (I used the one delivered with WinVista) is about 20MB big and is too heavy for the ZVM to handle. mrprozac wrote ... Maybe it's to early to get to it but i just got an idea. Wouldn't it be nice to add a schedule function where you can set everything up to let the play record automaticly a radio show? Maybve handy if you like mixes. Most of the radio stations here in NL play mixes at night :sigh: . it would be nice if the ZVM could record it, while it plugged in the charger. Add it to the Rockbox feature request list, maybe someone is willing to code it. | ||

 Joined: Mon Jun 04 (2007) 04:09PM Posts: 50 | I've summarized all Firmwarefiles released by mcuelenaere so far (all credits go to him) Arial [ image disabled ] Comic Sans MS [ image disabled ] Disney Font [ image disabled ] Trashco - hard to read and 'laggy' [ image disabled ] How it works: 1. Created the folder C:\CtJbFW\newbin 2. Copy the edited fimware into it (rename to nk.bin) 3. Run the Updater 4. Press 'Update' 5. If it shows a message press Yes 6. Wait untill the Updateprocess has finished Download the Updater from -->here<-- Thanks mcuelenaere  , i hope there will be some more stuff soon. (Maybe a tutorial?!?  )It's songs for the deaf, you can't even hear it! | ||

(Maybe a tutorial?!? )i second that. a tutorial would set us free to experiment with own fonts and sizes. now that you have already provided a firmware with Arial, how difficult would be to make the font display at a particular size? is it necessary to start from scratch when defining the font size or is it just a matter of opening the Arial firmware in a HexEditor and changing it a little? | ||

Well, actually it isn't that hard. Maybe I'll make a short movie or something to show you how I change some fonts. And about the font size, you could change the size of the font directly by editing the .ttf file, but it could be defined in Jukebox.grs, the same file where all the themes and PNG's are saved. Because in that, for each theme the font is explicitly defined (so it should be possible using several fonts with several themes) and *maybe* (this is just an assumption) the font size is also defined in there. | ||
