but when using these font, the terminal can not be started. After I press the key "Shift T T", a message "success!" echoed on the bottom of the screen, but the terminal don't popup.
Is this font right? or the program's issue.

I got your fonts to run.
once. and never again. just bombed.
And since my buddy Will18 don't dig the mini-squinting here's my effort
A working 12x24 font that is not utterly without use. : )
Tested as working on myTs 7 Kindle 3.x
Henjoy, Chars.
EDIT: correct formula was bdf2hex blahxblahFont.bdf > blahxblahFont.hex
EDIT EDIT: Although I am yet to understand why some fonts convert correctly and some do not.
I couldnt get the 'made' c tools in unifoundry-5.1.200080907 to produce the expected output. Just so you know; if you can't get them to work either?
you're not going mad.
I also got unexpected output from the Perl script with certain bdfs's so YMMV (using the tools I mentioned, not the font; that works fine) (MEH)
