Introduction
Palm includes the SDL_ttf library for rendering fonts. SDL_ttf is documented fairly well on the web and it appears to be fully supported.
On-device Fonts
There are several shared fonts included on webOS devices. Shared fonts are stored in /usr/share/fonts. According to Palm[1] the following fonts should always be available:
- Prelude
- Prelude Condensed
- arial (Arial)
- cour (Courier)
- times (Times Roman)
- verdana (Verdana)
- lucon (Lucidia Console)
It is important to note that webOS has a case-sensitive file system so you must get font names exactly correct or they will fail to load.
