m6_patch_font tool
I'm tired of waiting for support of russian symbols in txt files. So... I've spent 2 days analysing resource.bin file... Don't really remember how much coffee I've drunk The result of this "reverse engineering" is m6_patch_font tool.

It makes possible to read russian txt files.
Download

Usage
Download m6_patch_font.zip and extract it for example to C:\Temp.
Place resource.bin file to C:\Temp.
Run in command line:
m6_patch_font.exe resource.bin russian_remap.txt output_resource.bin

As the result output_resource.bin will be created. Copy it to your player and rename to resource.bin. After restart the player will update its resources and you'll be able to read txt files with russian symbols.

Tested with T1.010 RC4.

Yes, but I think only for those languages that are already in firmware.
You need to create your own remapping text file like russian_remap.txt.
I can explain how to create it, but I need someone how wants to add support for asian/special european symbols. The best explanation is step by step tutorial.

Danish
Dutch
English

No, only one language. With my method of course
I don't understand why the developers in Meizu can't add UNICODE support for txt files. All necessary fonts are already in resource.bin. If I had sources of the firmware I would activate all languages. And even more

Japanese isn't already in the firmware, is it? So it isn't possible to modify the firmware to display Japanese characters?
Does the player at least display ID3 tags properly no matter which language?
My player hasn't arrtived yet, so I couldn't test it.

I don't know UNICODE ranges for Japanese characters. Here is the mapping of UNICODE characters. Find your range and I'll answer the questions.

Does Thai language have 8-bit encoding? Or only UNICODE? Because text files are displayed using characters 0x0000-0x00ff (ASCII). In remapping text file each line consists of 2 hex numbers:
1st: code of character we want to replace (0x0080-0x00ff)
2nd: code of character we want to replace WITH (unicode codes for your characters)
