m6_font_import tool

[Hotsport]

Well we all know that it's a complex language.
Let's hope Meizu open source the firmware.

Thanks anyway Asmo

It is amazing to see that only questions posted by geeks get answer by other geeks (right away) , I thought this website was to help people with different issues with their player or to teach them on "How to" not so.....
I just wanted to remind all the BRAINS out there:D that ,they had to start some where at one point , they weren't born with the knowledge of computer , so cut some slacks to the people here who actually want to learn something new about their players , be kind and transfer you knowledge to others , it'll make you feel better knowing that you made someone happy by teaching them a new thing :D "PASS IT ON"

The BRAINS has heard you :D, so here is it, the answer to your question!
Just download the firmware package (see this thread) and you'll find in archive 2 files. One of them is resource.bin, which you have to put to the same directory as m6_font_import.exe. Then follow the common instructions.

What!? Hey, the last 2 lines won't work, cause my program operates only UTF-16 encoding, more precisely UCS-2, i.e. 2 bytes per code point. And the most important - M6 supports only UCS-2! Do not use codepoints after 0xFFFE even if program doesn't crash (generally speaking - it should crash, but strange things happen...)

I am tempted to try ssungiri's code there. Asmo, is it safe? Can the font name be in chinese, or does it have to be in English? I am very interested.

My player correctly shows file names in cyrillic, but in the song list it uses wrong characters. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks Asmo , I had it to work this am :D, I actually used a "resource.bin" from a custom skin , worked good
wish I knew more about all that stuff , but doing some digging around the forum can be a lot of fun :D

Possibly these tracks use ANSI codepage for cyrillic, try the following:
first use m6_font_import and then m6_patch_font.

Safe, but delete last 2 lines. The font can be chinese but save the text file in UTF-16 (UCS-2) encoding.

Asmo, you talked about saving files in UTF-16. I don't have the option to save under UTF-16 in notepad... reason why? (sorry if I am noob). All I see is ANSI, Unicode, Unicode big endian, UTF-8.

PS: I have successfully uploaded a Chinese simplified font onto my M6, but only because the Chinese simplified font has an english title.

Select Unicode. That's strange things from Microsoft. They think that UTF-8 is not Unicode... Poor people...
