Eve3 built-in fontset
« on: September 08, 2020, 10:53:05 PM »
Greetings all,

I've been looking to see if there are any details available on the font sets which are built into the Eve3 series of chips, but haven't found anything specific.

I'm interested in knowing what the different fonts are, and what licenses apply to their use.  It would also be helpful to know for each of the built in fonts, what the sizes are.  (Regarding size: is there a corresponding point size assuming a given dpi, or some other similar metric)

This information will be helpful to us both for updating our user-manual to reflect the new graphic layouts, and for the purposes of duplicating the appearance of our UI on other platforms.

Many thanks!

Hello

Here are details of which fonts are used. The fonts are in three groups:

•             Non-proportionate and non-anti-aliased - Fixed-width CP437 fonts are taken from the FreeBSD distribution's console driver. Please see CP437 8x8 and 8x16 (handles 16,17,18,19).
•             Proportionate non-anti-aliased - Variable width fonts are helvR08, etc. from X11 (handles 20 to 25)
•             Proportionate anti-aliased fonts were taken from the roboto regular file and converted into bitmap and into L4 format.

Best Regards,
