That theme looks VERY promising! Bits from Marina and from the template?

Re: [Fonts] How to change default font in Maemo5
 

guys

is it possible to take every ttf file (windows and online site`s ) as a fonts for the N900 or are the fonts little bit modified for use on the Maemo Device ?! ;)

Re: [Fonts] How to change default font in Maemo5
 

That might slow down the N900(especially applications that use a font selector) and also /opt/ is not very big IIRC. You could of course symlink the fonts into the directory if you wish...

Re: [Fonts] How to change default font in Maemo5
 

I wanna ask if "one of the ttf files" which can be found online will be work on the N900 - I don`t put all of the fonts on my N900.
I saw yesterday a nice font online and download it. Then I take a look inside (you know in windows you can take the view in a ttf file ;) )
But when I take a look of the size of the files

There is the issue that the font, which I download, is 50 % smaller then the one in the N900. Can be that a problem ?

Example : Nokia Sans is something like 120 kb and the "new" font is 55 kb ! I know its just "kb" but its stupid ...

Re: [Fonts] How to change default font in Maemo5
 

look on the post before - is it possible to change the size of the costum fonts 1-2 steps smaller ?? Can somebody do that for me ?
when its possible I can send you the fonts with PN!

Hello!

I was playing with Black Plastic theme as it allow to change fonts quite easy -- I can confirm that you are not limited to *.ttf files only, you can use OpenType (*.otf) fonts without conversion. As for font size -- if font contains more glyphs it's size will increase, ie. Segoe (included in win 7) has some variants more than 600k!

Tested few unhinted OTF fonts and must say, I am impressed with on-screen rendered quality!

Thank you, most of what looks borrowed is from humanity, one needs to have it installed for the icons, I would say that the rest is my own work, these are prototype screenshots and as placeholders I have elements from many themes (among these black plastic). When it gets released I am aiming at using my own art though. Sadly it might take some time, since I'm travelling at the moment and will have much work when I return home...
