Pete , I managed to add support for true type fonts. As i mentioned i cross compiled freetype 2 and made the changes in Nano-X. But using a ttf font, am unable to display Cyrillic characters, even though the ttf font file contains cyrillic characters. Earlier i was using pcf fonts and i was able to display cyrillic and all utf-8 characters. The only change i made is to add freetype 2. I seem to be missing something.
Also, would you know where i can find good quality unicode ttf fonts ? the free ones i have come across till now dont give clear text . - Arun On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 9:52 AM, Arun Ram M <arunra...@gmail.com> wrote: > Pete , > > No, i haven't added freetype support.
