Hi all,

I am using a fonts derived from a font image file in my game MIDlet, but now I am porting on lower resolution, and the font size is relatively large and cant fit on the screen, so I want to reduce the image file which is around 2000x12 pixels (W x H), I want to change in into 175x12 (W x H), I used photoshop to change the image size but once changed the characters in the image file becomes unreadable and lose their original shape.

Is there any way in which I can reduce the image file, its a .PNG file.

Looking forward for a swift reply.

Thanks

Hi buddy you are making big change in image i.e 2000x12 pixels (W x H), I want to change in into 175x12 (W x H) that's why you are getting problem try to create new image of this screen size .You can try batch image re sizer to resize the image.But i dont think this will be a good choice .You have to create new image for it

Hi Anshu thanks for the reply,

I have already tried creating a new file in photo shop and choose font size 2 pt, but still when I enter the text they are not in proper shape and are unreadable, I am trying the tool which you just now mentioned.
Thanks

[kai_buki]

I can send you the image, but I don't know how to send images or files using nokia forum, if I can get your email ID.
The font used is Tahoma.
the image file contains :
The characters: 26 letters, 10 digits, 12 symbols of !@#$%^&*()+-=/<>?.,:;'

Hi,
changing the file of the Font does not means that every thing can work as desired,I guess you must have to change the code a little bit.Are you assigning the single chars height and width.Therefore you have to change the value of these variables.I would suggest that please read the code carefully and then check that what are the other variables those might cause the above issue.

[kai_buki]

Yes,

Using it as custom font in the game, I am sending you the image file, please let me know when you get it
Thanks for all the help.

I know that code needs to be changed, but the initial problem is that when resizing the image, the characters become unreadable and lose their shape, so even i change in the code, the result I will get will be improper shaped characters. If i get the font character images in good shape only then I can change in the code, correct me if I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Hi,
You are not wrong,however what I am saying is that thats issue is not coming due to just the images shapes,rather this is due to the code itself,and I am sure about it.Rather sending the images to others you to get the re-sized images,you can do this by your self,even you can ask this task to you designer.

I would strongly recommend that try to change the code and then have a look.

Raj I know that code needs to be changed but as code is subject to change when the image file is ok.
I tell you what happens which I change the image file if initially the character is "M" it changes to "|" or something like that, and it happens to all characters.

my designer is gone, contacted him and he also not sure how to do.

That is why I am working on resizing the image properly, once that is done then I will changed my code, so that I can get characters in proper shape.

Thanks...
