Use the free java program "Fontpdb2txt" to convert to PilRC style. Just search for it with Google. LionScribe
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dave Lasker Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 1:17 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: Tiny fonts I put the 4 tiny font rcsc files from the palmsource KB through rsrc2rcp.pl. Since rsrc2rcp doesn't know about font resources, the results are HEX. Each HEX resource was a very long single record. This was too big for pilrc, so I modified rsrc2rcp.pl to put in additional linebreaks. This allowed pilrc to compile the fonts with no error messages. In testing the results, I got some very strange behaviour... 1) The output of rsrc2rcp is 2 resources of type 'NFNT' (expected) and 1 of type 'tfnf' (should be 'nfnt'). 2) The 'tfnf' font displays full size characters at 1/2 resolution (should have been half size characters). 3) Using one of the NFNT fonts directly yeilds full size characters at 1/2 resolution (expected), but the other NFNT font gives half-size gibberish (aw, shucks!). I am also interested in expermenting with tiny fonts that are pilrc-readable...if anyone has these, please let me know as well. Thanks...
