Font files provide the pixel patterns used for drawing characters. EPOC Release 5 defines a new plug-in architecture, called the Open Font System, to provide support for arbitrary font formats; these may be outline, vector, bitmap, etc. In particular, this lays the foundation for full support of scaleable fonts.
However, until font plug-ins have been released, developers should continue to work with EPOC’s own font store file format (.gdr).
Two methods can be used to produce a .gdr file:
.gd text file, see Font definition file. This file type can be compiled into a font store file, using the fnttran tool..fsc), can be converted into a .gd file using the fontcomp tool. The .gd file can then be compiled into the .gdr file using fnttran. Fonts in Adobe’s Bitmap Distribution Format (.bdf files) can also be used by fnttran directly, see Bitmap distribution format files.The font tool reference material is contained in the topics:
