Title: Font Editing Made Easy Post by: joeyNET on August 03, 2008, 09:06:49 pm How the use the program...
For the V3: Use these first 2 steps... 1. Open SHXCodec and split any stock v3 Language Pack. 2. Open MotoFontEditor and open the cg4 file. For the V3i:Use these first 2 steps... 1. Extract the .bin's from a stock v3i Language Pack using RandomSHX A folder called "Extracted Bins" will be made. 2. Open MotoFontEditor and open 2.bin which you will find in the "Extracted Bins" folder. 3. Zoom to you comfort level. 4. Click No.2 at bottom table. (If you are editing the inner screen font, this will show all the characters) 5. At the top right table, click the first row (Unicod 0021). Scroll down to the last row and holding the "shift" key click the last row (Unicod F087). All the characters will be selected. 6. Now click Processing A. Click Select windows font. This will bring up the Windows Font dialog box. Select the desired font (note that if windows font does not show the special characters then those characters in the phone will not be changed > it will remain stock) B. Now click Replace the chosen symbols. You will see the characters being replaced. Wait till all the replacement are done. C. When replacement is completed, click Optimize the chosen symbols on width. (If you want to change the fonts like numbers, Outer LCD Clock, etc, select the respective choice at the bottom table and repeat the process from point 5) 7. Save the langpack. Close MotoFont Editor. Note: if your making a font for the v3 rename the file something custom 8. Recompile the shx using either RandomSHX (v3i) or SHXCodec (v3). To recompile using randomSHX (v3i)... 1. Open up randomSHX... 2. Click 'create SHX from bins'... 3. Locate the folder with your modified 2.bin, this should be in the "extracted bins" folder from erlier... 4. New shx has been created... That should be it, although there will be checksum errors... To recompile using SHXCodec (V3).... 1. Open up SHXCodec... 2. Split the source... 3. Click on cg4 and then click replace.. 4. Locate your custom cg4 from erlier and click ok... 5. Recompile the shx and flash to your phone... A big thanks to DXFactor who worked with me on this... so don't give me all the credit... He found out about the missing driver you had to install to get this to work and also provided me with a detailed guide, to which i added things too Also thanks to woody who translated some stuff for me as the original page was in russian... Also i forgot to say this is the beta version of "moto font editor" so if you find anything wrong please tell me and ill pass it onto Dimka... this was written by chick1440 Title: Re: Font Editing Made Easy Post by: Exploited on August 07, 2008, 08:21:11 am ++
