Description

In typography, a font family (also known as typeface) is a set of one or more fonts each composed of glyphs that share common design features

PS3 fonts are made by Fontworks Japan (for SCE-PS3 Rodin/NewRodin/SEURAT/Matisse JPN/LATIN/EXT Bold/Regular/Italic), dynacomware (for DFHeiW5-A), urwpp (for VAGRundschriftDLig, VAGRundschriftDLig2 and the Sony-CC), yoondesign (for SCE-PS3 YD gd Bold, SCE-PS3 YD gd Light and SCE-PS3 YD gd Medium)

In PS3 firmware 2.00 it was added a feature that allows the user to select the font style in XMB column Settings->[Theme settings]->[Font] from the default "original", "rounded", or "pop". This same setting can be modifyed by installing a .p3t theme and theoretically the setting should be stored in the list of "user settings" inside XRegistry.sys

The font file that will be used to display the texts is choosen by the PS3 firmware based on the language setting

Some parts of the firmware specifyes the font style that will be used by using his "font familly" as can be seen in RCOXML Fonts, there is not a known complete list of all the font families used by the system though. And is posible to change color, size, shadow and other text effects in the RCOXML Objects related

Some error codes are specific for fonts as Debug font error codes, and Font error codes where can be seen how the firmware uses the codenames "fontset" and "glyph"

Other parts of the firmware as the blu-ray player software, the PSP emulator, or the webbrowser uses its specific fonts tthat cant be considered "system fonts"

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

To write or read some special characters in PC is needed to specify the font that will be used in the application as can be seen in the image below

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:

As can be seen after changing the view mode to "26 bytes per row" in a hexeditor, the first glyph is some kind of circle, only contains pixel data (1 byte per pixel, in greyscale)

Web browser

Related with the Web Browser (the xai version of the webbrowser is named <MicroBrowser> in the .xml), it lists the font types availables by language groups

    • The file is different in CEX or DEX (in the lines where appears SCE-PS3 Rodin LATIN the CEX version has the font SCE-PS3 Rodin LATIN2 added)

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)
