Resident fonts

• The only built-in font required is the Sans Serif "Tiresias", plain (no italics or bold), in four sizes:

  • Heading: 36 points (24 TV lines)
  • Subtitle: 31 points (21 TV lines)
  • Body: 26 points (18 TV lines)
  • Footnote: 24 points

• Only required to support text orientation for European languages.

Notes:

MHP devices are only required to support text orientation as used for European languages (that is horizontal left to right, top to bottom). Note that the default ("body") font size of 26 points is approximately the same as 18 TV lines. While these font sizes are suitable for TV display they are much larger than fonts used in web computer applications.
