m6_font_import tool

[Dest1ned]

I try to use this tool to imorpt new font, both Chinese and English. and I found a despointed problem: I can't change the font when it is high-lighted. I mean which you roll the selection bar, the font will grow larger, at this momonent, the font remain the same!! and it is urgly.

can anyone here help me fix this problem? thank you!

P.S: A Chinese teenager rewrote your program, and make the tool more easier to use. but pity, it is in Chinese. I really hope you guys here can use it. here is the link in case of any body here wants it:

I haven't got an english file of that, i do however made the command a bit more simple to convert the bin

Make a bat file named <namehere>.bat and put this in it with notepad:

@echo Press any key to continue
@pause
m6_font_import.exe resource.bin font.txt out.bin

Also, i can't get any new fonts to show up, while they are installed and typed correctly in the font.txt, any idea?

Well, I updated the firmware to the 2.004 and been trying to use the importer to restore the font I've been using with previous firm. The question is that I get an "Invalid font description file" message all the time. The font file is saved in UTF-8 format and this is the content:
Kristen ITC
Kristen ITC
Kristen ITC
DEFAULT
700
700
0x0021 0x00bf
I also tried with:
Kristen ITC
DEFAULT
700
0x0021 0x00bf
with the same result. Any ideas of what is wrong?

Problem solved. This is what I've used:
Kristen ITC
Kristen ITC
Kristen ITC
DEFAULT
700
700
0x0021 0x00bf
Same as before but this time I just copy&paste my settings into the original file from Asmo. Not sure what is the difference with previous attempts but this time worked, back again with kristen font:D :D :D Thanks for great tool Asmo

hiyaho!

I have a strange problem nowadays. I try to import some fonts, and the 20x20 and 24x24 font imports successfully while the 16x16 font doesn't. I've checked the config file, and it has the correct UTF-8 starting code (FE BB BF) and the tool doesn't report any errors eighter.
I'm also trying to add the same font for all 3 sizes, so that can't be the problem eighter.
Does anybody else have this problem?

Extract the files into a folder, preferrably c:\font.
Rename the m6_import_tool.exe file to font.exe (for simplicity)
Whats your current FW? Find a skin with that firmware. That skin consist of a resource.bin file. copy that file into the c:\font directory where the files are located.
In the font.txt file, change the first three to your desired font name. Make sure that the font is in c:\windows\font or u can use Microsoft Word or something similar to view different fonts and their names.
Tahoma <--- 16x16 font face
Tahoma <--- 20x20 font face
Arial <--- 24x24 font face

click start and then click run. type "cmd" without the quotes and press enter

when command prompt open.
1. type "cd c:\" (changes the directory to c:\)
2. type "cd font" (changes the directory to font in c:\)
3. type "font.exe resource.bin font.txt out.bin" (processes the font in the resource.bin file"

then a new file out.bin is created with the font. copy it to the root directory of the m6. then rename it to "resource" without the quoutes.

eject the m6 and you are done. start it up and then restart it.

there you go
