• When your music library is being updated - status line at the bottom of the screen
• In text viewer (it's possible to select 16x16 font)
• Menu/Settings/Important tips

Nowhere, it's impossible. Change the font face.

you gotta modify this (bolded):

Arial
Tahoma
Tahoma
DEFAULT
750
950
0x0021 0x00ff

max is 1000 - it's font weight, I've noticed that 1000 and 500 for example are 2x bigger/smaller from each other


again, how do I get ranges of the codes of Polish characters (ę,ó,ą,ś,ł,ż,ź,ć,ń) ????????????????

I don't think this has been posted but I'm having trouble getting this to work. I've followed all the instructions but when i go import the fonts, the program says
'Importing...'
but never says done. It returns to the prompt with no out.bin having been created. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks

Start/All Programms/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map
Select the font you wish to use and find the codes of these characters. Then do the following (this is an example): ę has code 0x0119 so add line
0x0119 0x0119
to font.txt.

Be sure that you are working with 2.004.x firmware and saving font.txt file in utf-8 encoding.

Thanks for the update Asmo!

Unfortunately it does not change the 16x16 sized font.

But if i first use this version and then the previous one, i can change it too.

Checked and double checked. Still no luck I'm afraid. I'll post my font.txt, in case I've done something wrong within it:

Vrindi
Vrindi
Vrindi
DEFAULT
700
900
0x0021 0x00ff

Yeah... Very strange bug... Fixing in progress...
*After examining the problem*
It seems that if a font is too bold to fit into 16x16 matrix, Windows provides an alternative font whose characteristics match as many of the requested characteristics as possible. Usually it is Arial font. I've never experienced such problem cause I always use Arial or Tahoma, which perfectly fits into 16x16 size.
Think it's not a big problem, cause 16x16 font is used only in a few places.
