Hi,
I'm using Nano-X (V. 0.89, framebuffer support enabled) on a PPC
embedded Platform (~ 50 BogoMIPS) with large (14-54) freetype fonts. It
is working fine, but - compared with the build in fonts - the drawing is
very slow.
Is there another way to use large fonts? I didn't find a discription on
howto add more build-in fonts to nano-X. If doing so, will this speed up
the drawing?
I tried using pcf-fonts, but they can't be loaded (the pcf_read_toc()
seems to read wrong size information and then the calloc fails - did I
use the wrong fonts?). I used 75dpi and 100dpi X11 fonts for testing
(courB24-ISO8859-1.pcf). Are these fonts correct for using with nano-X?
Will they be drawed faster than the freetype fonts?
Regards,
Klaus
