Fonts in iZak™
Technology
iZak™ supports the true type Unicode fonts. There is a default font included in the firmware that
supports most of the major languages in Europe and US. It is based on the freetype v. 1.3 library
and it is NOT using the byte code interpreter.
User Defined Fonts
iZak™ has the unique feature to support user defined or custom fonts for the User Interface
and the subtitles. You can use your favorite Windows TrueType font by just copying it to the
predefined
“\Firmware\Font”
folder with the name
font.ttf
.
For example, copy the well known font Verdana.ttf to
“\Firmware\Font”
folder with the name
font.ttf
. With this simple action, your iZak™ device will have
Verdana
as the current font for
the User Interface and the subtitles.
