Working with .NET Micro Framework and Fonts

by Syska 26. May 2010 18:39

So, for a smaller school project I’m going to make a remote controlled twitter client showing off the latest tweets from you the ones you are following or just from a search. So I wanted to make my own font and what a hell that was. Crappy command line tool … the font size if given as a parameter called “height”.

To save memory and space on target, Microsoft is using a new font format, instead of TTF, called tinyfont.

TFConvert overview
TFConvert reference

So I was reading Apress Expert .NET Micro Framework and they linked to this excellent Tiny Font Tool GUI, which makes it a lot easier to make fonts for your application. Instead of using the default fonts.

Now you got all the tools you need to create your own fonts. Hope this saves you some time.

happy I’m just so happy now, this saved my day

I have just started looking into ttf for .net and it seems pretty interesting so far. I will post back here if I find something interesting.

Many people don’t understand the effects misleading effects. I knew what you meant. It can be more effective to give people little opinion with facts here. I recognize this problem but with little clue, so we must face the topic together. With new assurance, we hope that the skill of other categories can be found together. Nice people can work with great people, and great resource is important for us in analyzing the case. I’ve studied for more than 4 years to analyze them, but the fact still can’t be discovered. In order to do that, we must deal with the changes of management resources. With so many resources here, we can develop new ideas for solving to problem. Let’s give opinion, let’s discuss them, we can take charge with our resources. The last one but not least, I support your analyzes to face new one. With many resources that we can collect, all of them can be handled well.
