Assembly photon fonts on windows

Does QNX support building fonts for an embedded system if a developer is
using the Windows hosted IDE?

I’m following the instructions in the “Photon in Embedded Systems”
documentation. It shows how to do it on the command line in a Neutrino
environment, but doesn’t say anything about how to do it in the IDE or on
Windows. A search for a windows version of the fontadmin utility came up
empty.

Do I need to do this on a Neutrino hosted system and then copy the files
over to Windows?

TIA

That title should have been “Assembly OF photon fonts on windows”.

I’m not doing them in assembly :slight_smile:

You’re right that fontadmin is not present on Windows. But it really does
not do anything that can’t be done easily in a text editor. In fact it has
been removed for 6.4.0 with the phfont rewrite.

More importantly, mkfontdir is present on Windows (from the command line).
