[FEATURE REQUEST] A Better CJK Font #836

Open giiutfff opened 5 months ago

giiutfff commented 5 months ago

Got a great idea on how to improve GodMode9? The CJK font in the repository 美咲ゴシック (Misaki Gothic) 8x8 is kinda too small to read, and only contains a small set of characters. Thus a lot of characters are displayed as ?.

Describe the feature you'd like Add a bigger font like zpix which has larger symbol set and bigger size for more comfort reading.

Describe alternatives you've considered I'm too stupid to figure out how to convert the file format to a gm9 compatible one. So could you kindly please add this to the repository for anyone who might be interested.

I have nothing against adding a new CJK font, however pixel true estate is scarce on the 3DS, and a bigger font always means that less information can be shown on screen. That being said, fonts are in the .pbm format, which is viewable in IrfanView (f.e.), and you can convert to the format from other software tools as well.

Which other software tools? I'd like to try, if it doesn't involve compiling a bunch of code or something like that.
