    Font Question.

    Hi all,

    To make my program, skinviewer reloaded, most complete as possible. I need to know wich text changes.

    If someone could make an list, of all the text that changes. That would be nice. And i can work further on my program.

    And also i would like to know what the standard font type is. Does anyone know that?

    Thank you.

    Hmmm, I think your best option is to send an e-mail to Meizu. They've listened to the stuttering problem petition. If you explain them what you're doing, perhaps they can help you.

    If they created a custom font that isn't available for the PC or Mac, you're gonna have to write a reader for it. Uh-oh...

    Hello,

    I am making an skinviewer application for users that make custom skins,
    but i want to know the original font of the Meizu M6. Or is it a custom

    Can you help me?

    Hm, why don't you take a photo and ask on a font forum? Maybe they can help. The resolution is a bit low, so it's hard to tell. Unfortunately I've just changed the font on my M6, so I can't really tell, but judging from http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/249/338297lv8.jpg it isn't Arial (look at the R), and Tahoma can be excluded too. It's a font that is very close to Helvetica, however the G hints towards Univers. The R also hints more towards Univers, but it seems to be even more angled than Univers. The a also looks a bit different, but I think Univers should a very close match, differences may be because of a different version or the low resolution.

    Microsoft got copyright on the fonts so there is no way its a font that youre computer knows!

    M6 resource files don't use fonts like Windows or any desktop computers. The fonts are just pixel data for each glyph. I believe the font was made only for the Meizu firmwares and I'm sure it's impossible to get a TTF font file, cuz it simply wasn't made like one. Someone could try create an imitation tho.
