I'm not much of an expert on this area, but it seems to me this is a pretty broad question; it covers not just fonts but also character sets. Presumably if you can get away with only supporting Unicode you can just install a font that supports a broad range of the unicode characters. Otherwise, I'm not sure if there is a well-defined set of fonts to cover everything; however one option would be to look at what fonts desktop- oriented Linux distributions install by default since they always have to deal with the issue of working out of the box in a wide variety of locales. If you have an additional font to install that should be fairly easy - just copy one of the existing font recipes we have under meta/recipes-graphics/ttf- fonts and edit it to suit the font. There are additional font recipes in the meta-oe layer as well: http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-graphics/ttf-fonts Once you have the recipe you just need to add it to the image, details on how to do that can be found here: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-customimage Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
