imagefont.bin

imagefont.bin (added since 1.90)

• Is compressed with zlib
• The entries in the footer are 0x10 bytes length. "number of entries in the footer" multiplied by "length of an entry" = length of the whole footer

File is present twice in PS3 firmware, but hashes don't match (so they are 2 different files or 2 versions of the same file):

• dev_flash/pspemu/flash0/font/imagefont.bin (used for VSH inside PSP emulator)
• dev_flash/vsh/resource/imagefont.bin (used for PS3 VSH)

Using PS3 fonts in PC

Windows

• Installing .TTF fonts
  • Go to "control panel" and open "fonts" folder
  • Drag and drop the .TTF files inside "fonts" folder
• Displaying the whole character map of a font in windows/ubuntu
  • Go to "start" (or windows key+x) /open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T), click in "run" and type: charmap, then enter
  • Inside charmap select the .TTF font and select a character, his "unicode" number is displayed at bottom left in the format U+1234 with a text description
• Displaying characters using unicode standard subgroups
  • Inside charmap select the .TTF font and change "group by" to "unicode subgroup"... a windows opens at the right with 45 groups, click in them to display the characters that belongs to this group

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"
