Details

Currently Rockbox using FONT_SYSFIXED when display quick screen, which prevents it from displaying some localized strings (for example: Chinese and Japanese).
I've tried compiling a version using FONT_UI instead of FONT_SYSFIXED in quick screen (havn't try recording screen). It works great on the H320 main screen, though not so well on remote when font is too big.
Therefore I want to ask:
1. Is there any reason why FONT_SYSFIXED must be used other than font size? For example, limitations on other model, or side effects which I am not aware of?
2. If it's possible choosing font according to screen size? i.e. Use FONT_UI when screen size is large, and use FONT_SYSFIXED when screen is small.
Or any other better solutions?


********** Aug 2008 update:
the recording f2/f3 screens, the buttonbar in the tree, and the eq GUI are the only users of LANG_SYSFONT now

It's just work in progress. The recording screen will probably get a rework after 3.0, as will most of the GUI side of things ;)

take a look at
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/NonLatinLanguages

you can change LANG_SYSFONT_ strings in your language file to include only latin strings translations for now- not to get squares instead of characters, and as a further reference any screen shouldn't use the sysfont for user friendliness.
