[Speeder]

No problem

[CCStyles]

Is it work for the Chinese Traditional font ?

[Asmo]

m6_font_import v1.1 is ready for download! Bug with 16x16 font fixed and support of M3 added. Read the first page of this topic.

[Speeder]

Will update it when I get home or so!

Oh and yes it does, CCStyles, just select the proper character ranges, you can find the chinese ones in the list and just add them.

[Speeder]

Updated the GUI. Bundled the new m6_font_import tool and added the support to select player. I've rushed it much, so in case I've miraculously added a new bug with my great skills, please tell me and I'll fix it.

ohhh thank it very good

[kadajawi]

Hm, would it be possible to make the fonts use ClearType (ClearType - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) or something similar? That would make the fonts look much better.

[Speeder]

No problem!
Kadajawi: Cleartype is a technology that anti-aliases text taking into account that pixels drawn on LCD monitors are made up of 3 parts: a Red, Green and Blue component. The color components are next to each other inside one pixel of an LCD monitor, and Cleartype "blurs" the drawn fonts so it will draw edges with subpixel accuracy using the colors as a trick with the LCD monitor.
However, the fonts themselves won't convert this way over. Instead, they will be "rasterized" in a low resolution, and then the pixels will be saved into our Meizu resource file. Because of this, I think it would be best to preview the fonts with no anti-aliasing on at all in order to see it most precisely what it will look like on our Meizus.
If however you want anti-aliasing, the program uses the default font anti-aliasing set for your windows. You can set it at Control Panel -> Display -> Apperance -> Effects
Cheers!

[kadajawi]

Hm, no, what I meant was save the fonts as anti aliased (maybe even with the subpixel stuff) into the ressource file. That way, the fonts would look way better on the M6.

[Speeder]

Yes, but sorry that is impossible. The M6 firmware was written this way and it also doesn't have the anti-aliasing engine.

Yeah, looks like Speeder needs to re-upload the file. I'm seeing that it's corrupted as well.
