Woogal - you've done it again. Made a great text reader even greater - can't wait to try my own fonts. Many Thanks, and best wishes.

THANKS WOOGAL..

One Question, would i be able to convert a Font File to work with LRv0.4 or would i need to take a screen of a row of font size and place them in the correct place on a BMP file?

Great work Woogal, much better than 0.2 (the last version I looked at) I have a couple of suggestions though if you have time - would it be possible to only list supported files in the file browser, as I keep my JPGs and ebooks in the root of GPetc and LR seems to list them all - I presume that everyone is only reading .txt files so it would be nice if the program only listed these.

Secondly (and I dont know if this is possible or not) could we have a screen rotate function so that the text can be displayed in portrait format (like what GP file manager does, top of the screen closes to joystick) I find it easier to read this way and the gp is easier to hold for reading in that format too.

As I say, great program though keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments guys

Xyo : Currently theres no easy way to convert a font file (until I get something written). Giffel sent me a link to some software that will create a bmp for you, but unfortunatly it creates rows of 16 characters not 32. You could still use it though, you'd just need to tweak the bmp afterwards. Link

mallrat37 : I considered limiting the file selector to txt files, but as NiN points out, certain sad individuals find log files interesting to read . The solution I use is to place create a seperate directory for books. Once you've opened a file Lazy Reader will default to that directory. I've also thought about adding screen rotate (I like the idea of it too), but don't expect it anytime soon

Hey Thanks Woogal,

It's great -- accent characters recognition really makes the difference (for French speakers/readers)

 

[woogal]

yosp,

It's good to have confirmation from someone who's not english that the accented characters work as expected! I can't read a word of any language other than english, so it was only tested very briefly (about 1 minute) with someone who'd lived in france for a while
