Files containing typefaces for specic languages or fonts/formats/sizes not
appearing in the list can also be installed on an MB panel. If you want to do so,
please contact SBC Support.
To ensure that all characters are supported, we recommended using the Arial
typeface. This is particularly the case for languages with a large number of
characters, such as Chinese.
This means using Unicode les with typefaces (.bft) generated and made available
by Saia Burgess Controls. The rmware searches the following locations for
typefaces:
INTFLASH/FONT
A le with typefaces contains the data for a continuous string of characters. If, for
example, Greek and Cyrillic are required, two les must be loaded: one with the
Greek alphabet and another containing the Cyrillic characters.
The size of such a font le must not exceed 128 kbytes.
(Chinese requires many les with dierent font sizes to cover all the characters.)
