Hi everyone,
Within the last days I've compiled two new pixmap-fonts for the VFD as present in Squeezebox classic, SB2 and Transporter, which I want to share here. Over time I wasn't any longer satisfied with the current look and decided that my squeezeboxes are in the need for a fresh look. The first font is a two-lines one, the second a full-sized one. The font "Neep" is based on the pixmap font jmk-Neep (available under GLP, see https://github.com/nikolas/jmk-x11-fonts, whereas I've used the bitmaps from the rockbox.org project, sizes 06x11 and 12x24). The original fonts are monospaced with a dotted zero; however I've only used monospacing for the numbers. A second variant, Neep0, provides an open '0', which could look more pleasant for the clock. 34230 The second font, DINo, is based on a keymap written in the Win10 font Bahnschrift, which itself is derived from the DIN 1451 font (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_1451). The DIN font is at least very common in Germay and used for traffic signs, looks very neutral and balanced, is quite easy to read from a distance. For this font, I've created the bitmap keymap within The GIMP (font size 34px, with medium hinting and no anti-aliasing). Afterwards, look, position and size of the characters had to be edited / adjusted for a more clean and polished look. 34229 The attached ZIP file contains these bitmap font files, which just have to be copied to logitech media server, into the "Graphics" folder (the BMP-files, not the ZIP, to e.g. /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Graphics/ in case of the debian packages) and LMS requires a restart. The fonts should then be selectable in LMS via the device settings for SB2/SB3/transporter. Please be aware that the files have to stay in the propper file format (1-bit Win3.1 BMP format), otherwise LMS won't start properly (will no more find any players as long as the non-functional files are present in Graphics folder). I hope you like the fonts as well.
