Make your own fonts

If you do not like the supplied fonts and want to create your own fonts. Or you have a big endian NAS then you need to create your own GD fonts. Or the fonts are not supplied. The fonts size is screen resolution and specific.

Use this program (ConvertGDFHeader) to convert ttf fonts to gd fonts. A couple of hints:
1. Character width = font width / 1.6. This gives the best results
2. Save the fonts as <font name>_tt<size>.gdf with size = true type font size / 1.3.

GD fonts are machine specific. You can check here to see what type your NAS is. CS/RS407, DS207+, DS107+ and intel processors are little endian. Use attached ConvertGDFHeader to convert a GD font from little endian to big endian. Syntax: ConvertGDFHeader.exe in_file out_file.
