makeqpf tool usage
-
I've been searching for a while now, and can't find a clear "How to use:" document for the makeqpf tool.
I got a .bdf file which I want to convert to .qpf.
Whatever I do, it either converts my file into a invalid/not useable .qpf2 file.
Or the makeqpf tool just crashes.Can someone help me or atleast try to explain me how the makeqpf tool is supposed to be used correctly?
I run Qt 4.7.2
Thanks in advance

Hi,
What's a .bdf file ?
-
It's a Font file:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph_Bitmap_Distribution_Format -
Is that font available somewhere ?
-
@SGaist Do you think it's font-related?
A similar font can be found here: https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/blob/master/fonts/6x13.bdfI've tried multiple different fonts.
When I try to add a new font in the makeqpf tool, it either says "The custom font %s could not be found" or it just crashes.I can't really do anything with those informations.

Little update, I just compared a .qpf2 (from the internet) which works with my application and a self generated .qpf2 file with makeqpf -dump filename and it seems that my own file does not have any data in Block 1 and 2, compared to the internet .qpf2 file.
Not sure if that makes sense... but I kinda suspect a makeqpf tool failure?
Again, I'm new to this, I might just talk alot uf nonsenseEDIT: Block 0 and 1, not 1 and 2
