Unable to change font on playing now screen

Open MayaGeva opened this issue 8 months ago • 8 comments

This is really the ideal theme for me.

Unfortunately, my songs that are in foreign languages don't show up using the theme's default font. When I change the font, the theme adapts everywhere except for the now playing screen. All my songs names show up blank.

Could you make the font dynamic everywhere?

So unfortunately Rockbox doesn't provide any kind of API or system to dynamically change more than one font. Since I'm using different sizes and weights, it wouldn't be possible.

What languages do you need supported? I will be working on the fonts for version 2 this month and will do my best to support these languages. If you could provide some song titles that I can use to test it too, that would be great :)

The language I use is hebrew. Here are some example titles:

התלכי בשדה - חווה אלברשטיין וולס בבית הקפה - פנחס ובניו על מי אני עובד - יוני בלוך

Lovely, thank you! I've gotten more requests recently for Hebrew support in my themes, so I've already got a font picked out for this and should be in version 2 without a doubt!

Can you for now add it to the dev build?

Once I prepare the font, I'll upload it here as a pack for all previous versions so you can use it while I finish off version 2 :)

Do you have an update on this?

Hi! Sorry been rather busy with college end of term. I put together a test theme for these font changes last month download link. It's japanese and chinese support is currently quite bad so I need to fix that and any other shortcomings before properly releasing but hopefully should happen this month.

Also the font's repo: https://github.com/D0-0K/MicroNotoSans
