0x0400 0x04f0

Then save the text file.



Copy the resource.bin file you want to use to the font patch folder.

Click on start menu and select run then type in "cmd" to open a command window.

In the command window type "cd C:\" and press enter to go to C: drive.
Then type "cd m6_font_import" and press enter to go to the font patch folder.
Then type "m6_font_import.exe resource.bin font.txt out.bin" to run the patch which will create "out.bin".
Copy out.bin to your player and rename it resource.bin then reboot as normal to load the resources and your new font.

The easiest wat to check out what fonts are available on your PC and their names is to use something like Microsoft Word to preview the fonts in the drop down menu.



You can also go to www.dafont.com and download thousands of free fonts which you just need to copy to the C:\Windows\Fonts directory.

EDIT: oooops a bit slow......

OK THIS is WHERE I GET CONFUSED , what resource bin file ??????
can u guys brake it down to lamen's term , I 'm almost there
but in the cmd window when I do the "m6_font_import.exe resource.bin font.txt out.bin" it tells me Importing....
Failed to open input file.
Please help :D
Laters Haters,

If the bitmaps could come with the range that will be great!

See the first post.

There is no program to do it (except mine) and the font format is not obvious. Say what modifications you want and maybe I can help you.

Our Thai language is like this
"สวัสดีครับทุกๆท่าน...ผมอีทีซี"
But now our meizu M6 Show its like this
"สว ัสด ีคร ับท ุกๆท ่ าน...ผมอ ีท ีซ ี"
If above Thai sentences doesn't appear please install

Oh guys, I've forgotten to warn you... Thai language is one of the languages that require complex glyph shaping...
That means that the input number of code points doesn't equal to output number of glyphs to represent these code points. In the example you've given:
these 4 code points 0x3626 0x3623 0x3633 0x3626 must be shown as 3 glyphs. This problem can't be solved without unicode shaping engine... If Meizu opened the source of the firmware I would add here normal vector fonts and support of the languages with complex scripts. For now it's impossible, sorry.
