Rockbox can load fonts dynamically. Simply copy the .fnt file to the disk and "play"
them in the directory browser or select General Settings > Fonts
General Settings > FontsGeneral Settings > Fonts
General Settings > Fonts from the Main
Menu .
If you want a font to be loaded automatically every time you start up, it must be
located in the /.rockbox
/.rockbox /.rockbox
/.rockbox folder and the file name must be at most 24 characters
long.
Any BDF font file up to 16 pixels high should be usable with Rockbox. To convert
from .bdf to .fnt, use the convbdf tool. This tool can be found on the Rockbox
website (Linux: http://www.rockbox.org/fonts/convbdf, Windows:
http://www.rockbox.org/fonts/convbdf.exe).

Rockbox supports many different languages. You can get .lng files at
http://www.rockbox.org/lang/. Currently all of these languages are included in
the Rockbox distribution.
If your language is not yet supported and you want to write your own language
file, follow these instructions:
Copy the http://www.rockbox.org/lang/english.lang file and start filling in the
"new:" lines.
Name your file <language>.lang, where <language> is the local name for your
language. i.e. svenska.lang, francais.lang etc.
When you are done, submit your .lang file to Rockbox patch tracker.
