Fonts in iZak™


Technology

iZak™ supports the true type Unicode fonts. There is a default font included in the firmware that
supports most of the major languages in Europe and US. It is based on the freetype v. 1.3 library
and it is NOT using the byte code interpreter.

User Defined Fonts

iZak™ has the unique feature to support user defined or custom fonts for the User Interface
and the subtitles. You can use your favorite Windows TrueType font by just copying it to the
predefined “\Firmware\Font” folder with the name font.ttf.

For example, copy the well known font Verdana.ttf to “\Firmware\Font” folder with the name
font.ttf. With this simple action, your iZak™ device will have Verdana as the current font for
the User Interface and the subtitles.


Font support in Asia

As has been previously mentioned, the build-in font of iZak™ support the major languages
except CJK (Chinese-Japanese–Korean).

In case a user requires the CJK (Chinese - Japanese - Korean) language support, he has
to download and install the following freeware font as described below:

1). Download he code2000.zip file from: http://home.att.net/~jameskass/
2). Unzip the code2000.zip and extract the code2000.tff
3). Rename the code2000.tff to font.tff and copy it to the \Firmware\Font subdirectory of
your iZak™ device.

In case the above font is not adequate to your aesthetics, or the above link is not available,
you can use the “Arial Unicode MS” font, with filename ARIALUNI.TTF found in:
