[SlimDevices: Radio] I'd Like Japanese Fonts on My Squeezebox Radio

2010-09-23 Thread jpshepherd

Can you help? I'd like Japanese Fonts on my Squeezebox Radio. I just
bought it. I saw on the forums info about this concerning the Touch
model but what about the Squeezebox Radio? I have tons of music in
Japanese text. Any ideas? If it can be done I would need detailed
instruction on how to do it. Thanks!!

Instructions that work with a Touch should also work with a Radio.
They both have the same firmware - just different resolutions for the
screen and different count of buttons.

Thank you for your explanation. It is good to know that it can be done!
At this link http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77342 it
explains a little of what needs to be done but does not tell me how
to do it. It talks about an SD card and such but the mine does have
that I don't think. What should I do step by step for the Squeezebox
Radio?

I think the best explanation is this one (working without SD-card):

Some additions as its written there very short:

to copy files over to the Radio, you can use the program 'WinSCP' (you
need to active remote access in the Radios advanced menu before).

To 'ssh' into your Radio you can either use linux or a mac, where this
command works directly from the command line.
If you use Windows I'd suggest to download the program 'putty'. This
one can connect to the Radio and you'll be able to enter the needed
commands.

Oh - and on the iPad Japanese seems to work instantly as can be seen on
this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLgwOEyFBbs
(hope this is japanese) 
This video also shows the results on a Touch so this should give you
some motivation :D

SSH

Secure SHell

In practice it's is a way to use the terminal (shell) on a Unix ,Linux
or Mac remotely connected to another computer .
The Radio is a small linux computer.

So you just start the terminal on you mac and then log on to the
radio.
Provided you have turned on remote access on the radio itself.

Okay. So I have...

1. Terminal open
2. DroidSansFallback.ttf on my desktop
3. Player IP address is 10.0.1.9

what do i do? do i change any of the below info? do I enter one line at
a time or the whole thing at once? what is root? Is that changed to
something specifically named on my Mac?

ssh r...@your_sbtouch_ip
# cd /usr/share/jive/fonts
# mv FreeSans.ttf old.FreeSans.ttf
# mv FreeSansBold.ttf old.FreeSansBold.ttf
# ln -s DroidSansFallback.ttf FreeSans.ttf
# ln -s DroidSansFallback.ttf FreeSansBold.ttf
# reboot

Thanks!

BTW, the video gave an example of first, Chinese, then Japanese
working. It can be done! Yeah! ;)
