They aren't (but I don't know where the old rockbox fonts came from). And they seem to be no proportional fonts.

OK, done (5 fixed for the fixed-width-font and 'manually' couted the cols with pixels in it for the width for the prop. font).

Hm, I'm currently at holiday visiting my parents and there I have only windows, but I can use a linux system of mine over ISDN.. So I can run all the rockbox skripts/programs. I run bdf2c and it stopped with too many errors. So the work to be done is to clean up the bdf first. Could you please do that? Wrong values are: - "SWIDTH:" - what's this? - ...all the values before the char definitions start. The newpropfont.bdf in the attachment seems to have an empty column at the left of each character, I don't know if this is correct (look at the bmp images, created with bdf2bmp.c found somewhere in the net). Bye, Uwe.
