How to install a rasterizer DLL

All rasterizer DLLs found in \system\fonts on all drives are loaded during Font and Bitmap Server startup. The search path is soft to hard: Y:, X:, W:, ..., C:, B:, A:, Z:. Rasterizers are identified by their signatures (The second UID must be KUidOpenFontRasterizerValue), and they must also have the extension .DLL. The first rasterizer of a given name overrides subsequent ones.

To install a rasterizer DLL:

• Copy it into \system\fonts on any drive.

• Perform a soft reboot of the device to restart the Font and Bitmap server.

  Note: there is no way to load a rasterizer without a reboot. Hence all rasterizers must be present on the device when the Font and Bitmap Server starts up.
