Hi Puradchi,

Thanks for using our Discussion Forums. Because the CVS is running a small, real-time operating system, it does not have all of the features available to it that a normal Windows machine does. Only one font will exist on the CVS and the real-time operating system, and therefore we do not have all of the options for selecting various fonts, styles, and sizes that exist when we run an example in Windows.

The font is actually located in a single image file, font.png, on the CVS. If you download this file from the CVS (it is located in the vision folder), then you can open it and view the font on your computer. This file will contain the standard font that will appear on the CVS. If you modify one of the letters in this font.png file, then you can change how the letters will appear on the CVS screen. Once you have made the changes, simply copy the file back to its original location on the CVS and reboot the system. While this will let you experiment with some minor changes, you are still limited in the appearance of the text on the CVS. Hopefully this helps you out!

Regards

The font.png contains mono spaced (fixed width) letters starting with the empty space and ranging through to lower case z. This corresponds to ASCII characters 32 - 122. The font is white text on a black background. It is possible to generate your own font.png file that matches this criteria.
