I didn't try any harder. Files attached for the next one to carry the torch:

The issue appears to be uneven length output from the perl script.
Perhaps the script itself has a height/width restriction (I should read it and check I suppose but IIRC it was a few lines at most) which leads me onto thought two. The bdf is wrong : (

FULL DISCLOSURE:

Spoiler:

I had a real struggle to find something that purported to be of the right size, I am a complete novice at these fonts and have spent much time attempting to cram the glyph format stuff in my brain. To limited avail. I attempted what you did with the perl script with the c version on the bdf with similar results. I should have mentioned that pop I am sorry I thought perhaps it was the toolset.

Easiest routes would be a) check the bdf is not garbage with a validator - I am not aware of one off hand

b) get another bdf and try that. I opt for this one myself. I searched for about two days on and off before I dredged up the 12x24 one and the 16x32 is part of the terminus project but IIRC they don´t supply a native bdf.

Fondu? or similar... may be our friend here? It converts quite a few bits and have toyed with it locally to get a feel for it´s abilities but again it´s not something I can ´just do´.

It would be nice to get a huge font. If only for the accessibility of it. Also it is there to be done. What more reason is there?

[PoP]

The .bdf font appears to be quite valid:


As you pointed out, the perl script produces uneven length definitions of the glyphs (hence faithfully recoding the input -- this is *not* incorrect IMHO).

It is the myts code that appears to only expect even lengths. Probably easier to tediously recode the source bdf using fixed 16x32 bitmaps.

[twobob]

sigh. ah. perhaps a simple padding script might do the job. or as you say just make one.

Harrumph. ; ) Thanks for the efforts pop

I was too lazy to make one, so I found this one. This font is overkill having too many unnecessary glyphs but its insanely big 16x32 pixels provide a 37x25 terminal window. Most importantly the glyphs have fixed width for easy integration in myts.

Enjoy, and thanks for the karma!

Excellent. Your ini appears to be truncated though?

I thought they ended:
ScrollbackLines = 1000
LangSymbols = õ.÷øàèåïíôùãâëòéçìêóæñáäðîöú
LangSymbols16 = .ץקך×�טון×�׀שדגכעיחלךףזסבה×*× ž×Š×ª

Anyways I´ll go test now. : D

Has anyone built screen for the kindle? [is this the right place to ask?]

[twobob]

You mean the physical device? Knc1 has ripped open more than his fair share of devices I´ll be bound. I see you are 3 so not a touchscreen...

Physical defect? a piece of software I don´t know? DO you mean GM´s video drivers perhaps, they provide screenbuffer stuffing with some alacrity.

Need more clues

[qlob]

no sorry, i meant "screen" the terminal program. allows you to have multiple terminal instances in one terminal

Not that I have seen reported here.

J.F. was going to consider making his terminal a "tabbed" interface.
But "Life" may have stolen all of his hobby time.

The other recent terminal application here (which runs under X11) might also be made to show multiple instances.
I don't recall reading of any such plans in that thread.

So as far I can recall - - that one (screen) is up for grabs - - go for it.

Yes, in post #37 of this thread: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...68#post1495668

But asking here might be slightly highjacking the subject

Also I cant get the font to work? gah. fiddling now.

HEH: If yours is working perhaps I should truncate mine! lol

EDIT: That´s more or less straight from the myts8 above with your bits in (unworking my end might I add)
