General
The user is able to provide additional fonts to satisfy his requirements regarding the
languages he is using or regarding special fonts/style/size which are not standard in
the MB-Panel.
Examples of languages: Russian, Greek, Chinese, Japanese
Examples of fonts: Comic sans MS, Charleworth, Book Antica, Century, Trebuchet,
Verdana
This is done through the use of Unicode font files (.btf) , which are being generated
and provided by Saia Burgess Controls. The firmware searches at the following loca-
tions for the font files:
M1_FLASH:/FONT
SL0FLASH:/FONT (in the case of SD card is installed)
INTFLASH:/FONT
A font file contains the data for one continuous range of characters. In case one
needs for example Greek and Cyrillic two files should be loaded, one containing the
Greek alphabet, the other one containing the Cyrillic characters.
The size of a font file must not exceed 128 KBytes.
If a font file is found it is registered. It is possible to register a maximum of 65 different
files. As soon as a character is needed, the font file will be opened and the data of the
character retrieved. These data will be cached for later reuse.
→ Font file name: 24 ASCII characters max without spaces (extension file included)
→ Font files installation: By copying the files via a FTP connection to the FTP server
of the MB-Panel.
→ Chinese fonts: size 12 is the minimum size readable.
