Try to rename your font files to FreeSans.ttf and FreeSansBold.ttf and
overwrite the existing files. If you only have one font file, copy it
to both FreeSans.ttf and FreeSansBold.ttf. This should show if your ttf
files are supported or not. If it shows the correct fonts if you do
this, it's just a matter of figuring out where to specify which fonts
it should use. If it doesn't show the correct fonts if you do this, it
means that your font files aren't supported for some reason.
I think the fonts are specified in the following methods:
WQVGAsmallSkinApplet.lua: _font and _boldfont methods
As you can see in _boldfont, the bold font name is created by
concatenate the FONT_NAME and BOLD_PREFIX constants, so due to this you
probably need to set BOLD_PREFIX to "" and not just comment it if you
only have a single font.
Also note that fonts are loaded specifically in some of the applets,
for example the screen saver clocks (ClockApplet.lua) and image viewer
(ImageViewerApplet.lua).
In the C source code, the FreeSans font seems to be hard coded in two
places:
- in squeezeplay/src/jiveblit.c (I'm not sure this is used)
- in squeezeplay/src/ui/jive_style.c (I think this specifies the
default font that should be used if no other font has been specified)
I this information doesn't help, someone with a bit deeper knowledge of
the SqueezePlay software need to give you an answer, probably someone
from Logitech.
