NOTE: To build bootfont.bin files, you MUST install and enable the language
support for the target language of the bootfont.bin you need to build.
To generate bootfont.bin files, you can build genfont.exe (in the genfont
directory). Care should be taken to retrieve the proper fonttable.h file
*before* building genfont.exe. The fonttable.h files for chs, cht, jpn,
and kor can be found on these directories. Just drop these header files
into the genfont directory, then build and run genfont.exe.
To build the japanese bootfont.bin file using this method, you would:
1. start intl.cpl
2. Select "Japanese" language. You might be required to have these support
files installed from your installation media.
3. cd \nt\base\boot\bootfont\genfont
4. copy ..\jpn\fonttable.h .
5. build -cZP
6. obj\i386\genfont.exe .\bootfont.bin
To build a CHS, CHT, or KOR bootfont.bin file, just use the respective
fonttable.h files from those directories.
There is another way to build bootfont.bin files too. You can
run convfont.exe, taking as input a legacy (circa build 2195) bootfont.bin
file and convfont.exe will convert this file into the new format.
To build the japanese bootfont.bin file using this method, you would:
1. start intl.cpl
2. Select "Japanese" language. You might be required to have these support
files installed from your installation media.
3. cd \nt\base\boot\bootfont\convert
5. build -cZP
6. obj\i386\convfont.exe ..\jpn\win2k_ver\bootfont.bin ..\jpn\bootfont.bin
To build any of the other bootfont.bin files, you must reset the language
via intl.cpl, reboot, then rerun convfont.exe on the target bootfont.bin file.
Here is a list of the current bootfont.bin files along with some other useful
data.
