So this weekend I was playing around with renoise. On my high res monitor even the "huge" font was a bit too small which kind of seemed like it took the fun away.

I decided to make a few new gigantic fonts that are in ".fon" format. It took awhile to convert pixel graphics to this old microsoft format.
This is only bearable with newer / hi-res screens as its rather large. Works great on my Macbook Air.


Source fonts

To "install" these fonts, replace/rename one of the old pattern fonts with one of them into the [renoise app here]/.../Skin/Fonts/ folder and then change your renoise settings to use that font in the renoise preferences -> GUI tab.

Also note in my screenshots I replaced the default font with a 04b font, which is pretty self explanatory to do- I'm not providing that information because the results are not very satisfying.

wow this looks cool. I don't know how to install it. Maybe its for an older renoise because when i try install a theme there isn't a font option and it only reads xml files

Lovely!

Altho I really think you should put a dot inside the zero to make things more readable.
Btw, for .fon editing, my fav program is Fony (used it to make custom FamiTracker fonts)

Although that may be true, 0's are used all over the place and it looked too cluttered for my eyes, so i removed the inside, I tried both styles, my fave with the slash, and the dot in the center. It's all subjective and personal preference of course.

I'll try looking for fony. I ened up writing my own script that converts text to the fon format. big_smile
