Description Mickey Gee 2008-03-25 14:10:31 UTC
The second line strings, like Music Library, or SqueezeNetwork should have a smaller font for default font. Using the current smaller font is too small, so it should be approximately 3/4 of the way between the two. It should at least fit the entire word "SqueezeNetwork".
Comment 1 Mickey Gee 2008-03-26 13:46:19 UTC
In Settings->Text Size, the default text is called "standard", with options for "light" and "full". Standard is a little too big, as stated in the above comment.

But "full" is way too big, and probably tuned for a SB3 display. "light" is the right size, but looks like a bold font on the Boom display. Would suggest some tuning of that font to look less bold.

Let's start with unique boom-specific fonts with smaller inter-letter spaces, then tweak from there.
Comment 4 Felix Mueller 2008-03-31 08:21:56 UTC
Added code to the Boom branch which overwrites the interspace read from fonts file to be only one pixel for small displays.
Comment 5 Blackketter Dean 2008-03-31 10:32:08 UTC
Actually, I think we'll need a separate font file for boom.  Can you implement this?
Comment 6 Felix Mueller 2008-04-01 03:24:47 UTC
I reverted the 1 pixel interspace change in SC7 and added narrow fonts for Boom to tweak (standard_n.1, standard_n.2, light_n.1, light_n.2 and full_n.2).

Make sure to delete the server prefs file to force SC7 to reload the fonts.

fw3. The small and middle sized fonts look pretty good.  I think the large font's space character could be a little wider so that words are more separated.
Comment 8 Blackketter Dean 2008-05-04 08:35:18 UTC
Just checked in the tweaked double-height font to increase the space character a bit.

Looks good.  Please reopen if you see any other issues.
