Hi,

As I wrote previously, it could fit if we reuse the already remapped characters:
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... .h#L42-L77

In this case, a EN/JA only firmware can be build (and I also need to update the UC1701_font_tool converter).

Anyway, someone have to draw all the glyph bitmaps ;)



Cheers.

Hi,

I don't think so, we can keep the current file (font charmap) as it is, and add one for the EN/JA version, that way things are quite independent, and only used at compilation time, as fonts will differs (same apply for the translation file(s)).


Cheers.

Another advantage of the japanese-shift-jis encoding is it's still a single byte encoding, so I think minimal tweaking is needed, it's almost just a font drawing work (64 glyhps over 5 fonts).

Who wants the brush now ? :-D

Hi,

I'm already working on this, so I decided to use UTF-8 encoding for the translation file (which will be processed to make it OpenGD77 compatible).
You will find attached an up to date version, UTF-8 encoded, so if you can update to last entries, and also the .dmr_contacts, that would be great.


Cheers.

Thanks, but the fonts are most probably ugly.
Drop me an email, then I will send you the bitmap font files, that way you can fix them (using your bitmap editing software of choice).
