I definitely think we should keep the source format (ttf) in SVN (just as we keep the BDF source files). > Also, naming - I think it'd be good to be able to distinguish AA and > non-AA by name (so people can use which they prefer). I propose adding -AA > to the filename, so we have e.g. 16-fontname-AA.fnt. Any thoughts? Sounds good to me. Although perhaps it would make more sense with a prefix, so all AA fonts sort together, and the suffix doesn't end up off-screen? It does seem like that's the wrong order logically, but I think it's more practical? -- Jonas Häggqvist rasher(at)rasher(dot)dkReceived on 2011-04-09 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
