Using font from another device

Is it possible / allowed to use a font from one device on a second device? For instance use the fr735xt's THAI_HOT font on the fr935?
  • The only way to do that is to find the same/similar font, and then use something like bmfont to create a custom font for the 935. The programmer's guide has info on how to build/use custom fonts.

    I don't know why the fonts are such a mess across device families, every one seems to have its own fonts, making it harder to create nice-looking data fields that work across devices.. The fr735xt has a really nice set of fonts.
  • Each device "series" has what the platform folks want, and in CIQ, we just use what's there.

    For a DF, you may want to stick with what's there for a couple reasons - one is that it will look similar to native DFs, and also, if you go with custom fonts, that will take more memory if you're doing something complex (you need to load the font)
