I've just caught up with this thread.. thank you so much mkozlows for
creating that! i use the light font for normal operation and standard

Just tried it.  Looks nice, no obvious problems but I have to say I find
it much harder to read from my couch than the default font.  Would work
for me if there was less of a gap but we've got about 4m between the
couch and the Sb here.

Just installed the new font - nice work! Looks really good and gets much
more on the display. The only (slight) issue is that some of the numbers
seem a little off w.r.t horizontal aligment - e.g. if I have "21" the
gap between the 2 and 1 is huge. 

Not a big deal though - this font should be in the standard package!

2005-07-05 Thread mkozlows

File this under "ask and ye shall receive."  I've created a condensed
font for the default SB2 "standard" font size.  It's based on Gill Sans
Condensed with a few tweaks here and there. It looks substantially more
attractive to me and fits more characters on the screen without
compromising legibility.  A screenshot of SoftSqueeze using this font:

You can download it at:

http://klio.org/pictures/slimserver/modified-standard.2.font.bmp

Just copy it to the graphics directory of your SlimServer installation,
making sure to rename it to "standard.2.font.bmp", and then restart
SlimServer.  

I think I've done everything properly -- I've got all the accented
characters in, I've made sure the numbers are all the same width (as
the clock otherwise shifts position as seconds tick off), and it
generally looks okay for me.  I'm a bit worried that the accented
capitals are too high, but I don't have any files that have accented
capitals, so am not worrying about it for the moment.  Download it and
let me know if anything looks off with it.

That's only good for the older displays on SBG.
SB2 uses a different resolution, thus will not accept these older fonts.
For now, the built-ins are all there is.

The size button will make it smaller, but it won't make it a lighter
font.  Are any alternate fonts available for the SB2?
