Resources fonts

  • dev_flash/vsh/resource/imagefont.bin (used for PS3 VSH ?)
  • Was added in PS3 firmware since 1.90 (long before Vsh.tar inclusion of codepage files was removed since 1.50)
  • Contains some hundreds of glyphs (characters)
  • Every glyph is compressed individually with zlib, afer decompression are "pixel data" in an unknown format, see Discussion page
  • The entries in the index are 0x10 bytes length. "number of entries in the index" multiplied by "length of an entry" = length of the whole index

Since 3.15 there is also a PSP imagefont.bin, which is much smaller and differs:

Web browser

Character Maps

There are thousands of characters and is pointless to make tables of them, there are also some characters that cant be displayed in a web browser because 99% of the users will not have the fonts installed in PC (like the beauty "drawings" of tibetan alphabet)... but some of this characters are more interesting than others, and are commonly used and included in most fonts, the most interesting groups are the ones that are common for all fonts and used by the system not dependant of the font style (original, rounded, or pop), like the "symbols" and "frame borders"

Symbols

These symbols can be used in any UTF-8 text string displayed in XMB, (e.g: TITLE, SUBTITLE, DETAIL, inside PARAM.SFO of a content)
