Change fonts?

One thing that has always bugged me about the empeg are the crummy fonts. I have a series of different sized fonts made specifically for the type of display in the empeg (from pinball machines, which use the same display only much larger!) that would look much better.

How much of a pain in the ass would changing the fonts be?

There is a font conversion utility floating around the BBS. It can be done. Do a search.

..And it is pretty sweet! Dunno why anyone hasn't posets fonts yet.

Me.

Have you ever tried designing a font from scratch. It can be quite a lot of work even if you're only doing 5x7 or something. The big player font is much larger than that.

Perhaps the fonts are already good enough for most people. If I remember correctly the guy who wrote the editor mainly did it because he/she wanted a Greek character set.

ive been working on a new font, more of a techno look, shoudl be done in a week or 2, its alot of work doing it from scratch

oH, yeah. I didn't mean that there should be, like a whole slew of fonts avaialbe yet - it's just been a real quiet release (not like the Logo Editor, or such..) Very little comments about it.
I did a quick redisgn of the small and mid font for myself, made the "O" and "0"'s easier to distinguish, mostly. :>

Incidentally, as I (and anyone who saw my car-player at Amersfoort) discovered by accident, most of the player software still copes if you replace the fonts with other sizes...
