Optimization

If it is necessary to overwrite an existing font, use these _Pixels>:

If the _ does not match any of the names above,
then the downloaded font will be applied against all fonts defined in the phone, which
means that you may lose the benefit of fonts being calibrated differently depending on
their usage. For example, the font used to display the time on the Sound Point

600 is a large font, larger than the one used to display the date, and if you overwrite
this default font with a unique font, you lose this size aspect.

Example of use:

• to overwrite the font used for SoundPoint

IP 500 soft keys for ASCII, the

name should be “fontPropSoftkey_10_U0000_U00FF.fnt”

• to add support for a new font that will be used everywhere and that is not cur-

rently supported. For example, for the Eastern/Central European Czech lan-
guage, this is Unicode range 100-17F, the name could be
“fontCzechIP500_10_U0100_U01FF.fnt” and
“fontCzechIP600_19_U0100_U01FF.fnt”

When defining a single .fon file, there is a need for a “font delimiter”, currently
“Copyright Polycom Canada Ltd” is used as an embedded delimiter, but this can be
configured using “font.delimiter”. The font delimiter is important to retrieve the dif-
ferent mangled .fnt blocks. This font delimiter must be placed in the “copyright”
attribute of the .fnt header. .fon files are useful if you want to include support for a
large number of font ranges at once, otherwise, if simply adding or changing a few
fonts currently in use, multiple .fnt files are recommended since they are easier to
work with individually.

IP 500

“fontProp_10”

This is the font used widely in the current implementation.

“fontPropSoftkey_10”

This is the soft key specific font.

SoundPoint

IP 600

“fontProp_19”

This is the font used widely in the current implementation including
for soft keys.

“fontProp_26”

This is the font used to display time (but not date).

“fontProp_x”

This is a small font used for the CPU/Load/Net utilization graphs,
this is the same as the “fontProp_10” for the SoundPoint

IP 500.
