Hi,
I try to mod. the TFT style a little bit after I upgraded to the 3.0.3vΒ
I mixed the original firmware with the config. from the community firmware but with little changes.
Works well so far. I also made myself a more professional looking starting screen. You can also have it if you want, the file is added here.

So my question is: Is it passible to change the font of the display? I hate that used font of the JGs display so much, it looks simply cheap. I tryed to turn a windows font into a .bin file but it doesnt do anything on the display after updateing it.
In the update files there are font files add. Its impassible to open them, that makes it impassible to find out what they used and how to change it.Β Β
Do you have a idea how to do it?

There is no way to change the font, I think. But, I think you can turn the font off in the mks config, and burn the labels into the button images.
The font is off in the buttons, its about the upper task what gives you informations about in what menu you are.
I tryed to turn it black but than other text is covered to.
As I found out, the font files are chinese fonds. GBK16 and UNIGBK are chinese 16bit fonts as I think.
Maybe its passible to add 16bit fonds with english fonds on it but the problem is, how MKS called those english fonds. Without the right file name its impassible.
this should work... please see attachment.
Thanks Sam!!!
But no effect on the font on the display,
Strangely, when you flash the wrong file it is like it is protected, it simply has no error than and ignore the new flash
Nope it doesnt change anything in the other languages to.
But I found out that the font on the display is a differnt to the font you have send me, the g looks different than the font you send here for example. There must be a different font to change
I mean the g looks like the one on that page and in the line you have send it looks like here in the forum
The problem with that font is, that it also not the right one, it looks different to the font in the display, how strange is that. Why is such a font in the firmware
Howdy, Stranger!
