Fonts For Your N95

[Mr G]

Woah,that looks ten times better don't it.

[LordTakyon]

Glad you agree. With my dodgy eyesight things need to be just right. That is why I am so picky about my themes being perfect.

I have followed the bit on editing the fontrouter ini file but can only see this :-


; FontRouter LT Configuration File Example
; Comment line starts with ";".

; When SubstFont absent, FontRouter will bypass RequestFont and leave it to native Symbian font system.
;

and not the :-


To zoom the font you need to find the following text:-

; Global zoom ratio (by
percentage) and range of font
size to apply zooming to.
ZoomRatio=100
ZoomMinSize=0
ZoomMaxSize=48

I set MaxSize to 50, obviously the absolute upper limit. To actually zoom the font you need to change the ZoomRatio, I set mine to 110.

Next you need to scroll down a little further and find the following:-

; Z<n> Zoom ratio
by percentage (Default: 100)


as expected ...........

do I just add the relevant lines ?????????

Afraid I am at a loss my friend. I have seen other people complaining that other parts of text are not present. I was lucky because all I needed was already there.

There are fixes around but I cannot remember where. I wil post the text from mine a bit later, maybe you could use that as a basis?

I am backing up the phone so I can play round with it later

Thanks

weird ......... copied your settings but no increase in font size !!!!!!

Strange, maybe something changed between versions? I am, afaik, using FontRouter LT Build 20071109, if that makes any difference.

Sure you followed the instructions, install to mem card, move to phone, edit .ini etc......

Also, some fonts the zoom is less apparent. I am currently using Sego Italic and notice almost no difference with a 10% zoom size wise, only by comparing screen shots of before and after.

I would assume that if the entries are not present for you that adding them will make no difference, maybe try using a newer version of fontrouter?

[ralph]

I am getting a ' not compatible with phone ' error message with FontRouter LT Build 20071109 .........

can you remember where you downloaded your version from?

[serious]

Where would I find fonts with the Finnish letters ä and ö in them? I tried one from the windows folder that's supposed to have them but the phone wouldn't recognize them.
