HMs DIY #1-6

Thanks for the update.  I am trying to work on the fonts for the venu 3s and not having much luck.  The designer is acting liike all of the fonts are the same, but that is not the way I defined them.  I have screenshots, but I do not see how this forum lets me atttach them.

Hopefully this link will work.  It contains sreeenshots of the designer for fonttest 1 and 2 as well as screenshots from the device.  There is also the font.txt file I was using.  There is also screenshots of a screen I was using on  a different watch which seemed to port over reasonably well.  So the updated CIQ app seems to be workinging, however I have not been able to get the fonts to be reasonable in the designer.  It might be helpful in cases like this if the designer gave you a way of seeing what font it was using so you could verify that it was what you expected.

Hi

The Venu is the first device that only uses 2 different fonts. So, you can only try to change to size and font used for two fonts. This is predefined in the SDK, I cannot do anything to change that. Only way would be to create a custom font.

So you will have to change these to lines to fit the designer preview as close to the real device.

I wonder if there is an error in the documentation.  The screenshots I have of the two fonttests clearly show more than two sized fonts.  In fact it looks like other Garmin devices.  I will do some more digging today and see what I can discover.

I measured the font sizes in the screenshots. they varied from 20 to 86 pixels high so it seems the device has the normal complement of fonts.  excel file with details is in the share I posted earlier.  As to the designer, I altered the fonts.txt file.  I noticed there were several watchs with 390 x 390 screens so I copied one of those.

however the designer seems to not be using there so I must be doing something wrong.  The designer seems to be showing all fonts the same.

Okay.  I can find work arrounds for now.  As long as its only in clone 6, I can only use one screen anyway. I can always design in another watch that has 390x 390 and then change device.  It will get close.

I wonder if part of the confusion is that the Venu has an option to enable large fonts (thus two) choices.  A quick test of this says it has no effect on the fonts used by DIY or I assume any CIQ app.  It seems to effectd Garmin screens only.

Perhaps I should add that I have been using the new version on my edge 830 as well and everthing there seems to be working fine.

Thanks for the info. I will then update the other clones next week.
