Thank You Meanie, I Like My New Fonts :)
« on: April 14, 2006, 05:54:54 pm »
I followed Meanie's instructions on how to "convert" TTF fonts.
I converted just one font into the 2 necessory rotations for my C3100
Now, when reading offline web pages in Netfront, I can switch to 18 point Arial Bold.
These are also accessable in HancomWord.

Now if I can just find one of my old favorites, "Shelly Allegro Script"
EDIT:
Darn, it's $22.00
(If I could only find my floppy from 1992 with Adobe Type Manager on it)

I'm not sure if this applies to changing fonts, but I made my prefs file rw
I did that because the home page setting didn't stick.
I load an image on /hdd3 as home when Netfront starts, so it doesn't try to connect.
the file "prefs" is located here on a C3100:
/home/zaurus/Applications/netfront3

Now back to your question.
In Netfront, select tool > browser setting. Select View tab. The font selection is in the bottom third of the tab.
Netfront will ask you to restart to make changes take effect.
(this is why I don't think my above changes to prefs matters, if it does, let me know)

When I first installed Netfront into Cacko Lite, none of the settings would stick.
I first started by editing prefs manually, then decided to make prefs rw

Opps, I forgot. If you don't know how to get the fonts onto your Zaurus, read Meanie's page here:
http://www.users.on.net/%7Ehluc/myZaurus/custom.html#custom
search for makeqpf
EDIT: I used the wrong word the first time I replied, it's called "prefs"
hope this helps
Jon

Thanks for the link.
I've got 4 versions of CorelDraw.
These fonts are facsimiles of originals from major foundries.
They use Bitstream, and others.
These are good looking fonts, just different than the originals.
Draw4 has 100's of each TTF and PS fonts.
For instance their version of "Shelly Allegro Script", is different from the one that was included in Adobe Type Manager.
