Bip V1.1.6.48 firmware fonts AWFUL!

Post by CarsonGrey »

So, on a whim I updated MiFit Android to whatever the latest is, and at the next sync the watch firmware updates. I normal avoid using the App and use only GadgetBridge, and if I know I might need faster GPS sync for a coming run.

Nothing seems to have changed except they've ruined the font. It's now a hideous fixed-width one that looks like something from X-Windows in the 90s.

Even with a fixed width it still manages to wrap and line break worse! Letters cut in half, bottom row of pixels missing. Nothing about it is better. In fact it looks like a straight-up mistake.

Is anyone else seeing this font with .48? Is there a way to revert it?

You posted this in the GTR, not the Bip, forum.

Yes I'm on V48 and the fonts are hideous. I used gadgetbridge to update to the larger fonts here in another thread but once you pair up with the Mi Fit apps it updates and reverts back to the smaller font.

Either stay with gadgetbridge to keep the large fonts and loose the GPS or use the MI Fit app and use the hideous fonts keeping the GPS.

BOLD_v6.15_9_spec.ft.zip is compatible with 1.1.6.48.

Yes it does but reverts back one you use the Mi Fit app so it's useless.
