Yes, OpenCanopy font support is only Mono. See my previous font testing here

I try your Verdana with BFBFBF result of Blackscreen nothing else 

Anyway the BFBFBF gives me the black font ant its better then the white with my background 

thanks again both of you

@blackosx

I have also tried Verdana.
If I boot with HideAuxiliary=True and I don't use the keyboard (to change selected icon or to show Auxiliary) macOS starts fine.
If I boot with HideAuxiliary=False (or with HideAuxiliary=True and I use the keyboard), it goes to black screen and there it stays.

Too bad!!! What is the reason why sources other than Acidanthera binary resources do not work?
They would be very nice in that green color that you show.

This is what we have to study.
It's from OpenCore configuration PDF.

===========================

Predefined labels are put to \EFI\OC\Resources\Label directory. Each label has .lbl or .l2x suffix to represent the scaling level. Full list of labels is provided below. All labels are mandatory.

• EFIBoot — Generic OS.
• Apple — Apple OS.
• AppleRecv — Apple Recovery OS.
• AppleTM — Apple Time Machine.
• Windows — Windows.
• Other — Custom entry (see Entries).
• ResetNVRAM — Reset NVRAM system action or tool.
• Shell — Entry with UEFI Shell name (e.g. OpenShell).
• Tool — Any other tool.

Note: All labels must have a height of exactly 12 px. There is no limit for their width.
 

Label and icon generation can be performed with bundled utilities: disklabel and icnspack. Font is Helvetica 12 pt times scale factor.

 

Font format corresponds to AngelCode binary BMF. While there are many utilities to generate font files, currently it is recommended to use dpFontBaker to generate bitmap font (using CoreText produces best results) and fonverter to export it to binary format.

Thanks for the report. I’ll run some tests maybe tomorrow to see what’s going on.
 

It’s was a while back that I generated those font files from following the notes in the OpenCanopy docs that you mentioned in the post above.
 

EDIT:

As for the AngelCode fonts, the format does support colour but I believe OpenCanopy currrently does not (Please correct me if I’m wrong).
 

But let’s remember that OpenCanopy is still a work in progress and Download-Fritz has put a lot of work in to get it to where it currently is. There may well be changes in the future allowing support for colour fonts.

I’m away from my system now. But check the OpenCore documentation and sample.plist in the OpenCore release files. It’s all there for you to discover 

 

I may have missed some steps or other stuff but hopefully you have the main details there. Good luck.

 

Then:
- copy com.apple.Boot.plist from macOS 10.6 to /Volumes/10.6/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration / 
- copy boot.efi from macOS 10.6 to /Volumes/10.6/System/Library/CoreServices/
- copy SystemVersion.plist from macOS 10.6 to /Volumes/10.6/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist 

hi what do you mean by
com.apple.Boot.plist from macOS 10.6?
boot.efi from macOS 10.6?
SystemVersion.plist? 

i can't find these files 

[blackosx]

Those system files will come from an actual macOS system and are the files that the bootloader uses to determine which system it has discovered.
 

The steps I posted were just what I did when I created my IMG file and that was to create partitions for each macOS system and populated each with the necessary files. But you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to. You can partition your IMG however you want OpenCore to see it.

 

For example; you could just create a single HFS+ partition for one version of macOS. Though you will still need to populate the partition with the system files that the bootloader looks for. 

 

Does that help?

Hi, why have you in your signature Intel B365 (Kaby Lake)? You have an i7-9700, and you say Coffee Lake-S for the iGPU.

[Anto65]

??? Intel UHD Graphics 630 (Coffee Lake-S GT2) from HWiNFO64 Version 6.35-4315 ,  that's no good ?

It seemed to me that you had read the OpenCore instructions when I saw the fonts you had in the other post. I had not read them until yesterday 

In theory, that's the way to create them. For whatever reason, they have not performed well in the test that @chris1111 and I have done.
It is true that OpenCanopy is evolving and that new features appear in each version. Now the look of the OC menu is quite successful (themes, backgrounds, arrows...). Label customization would be the only thing I am currently missing. Otherwise, I like it.

What a complete report !!! It's from Windows, right? And I see it says Motherboard Chipset: Intel B365 (Kaby Lake).
However, it is evident that it accepts microprocessors of 9th gen. (Coffee Lake S).

In the Intel specifications you can read:
Intel® B365 Chipset
Set of products: Intel® 300 Series Desktop Chipsets
Code name: Products formerly Coffee Lake.

It's just something that caught my eye when I looked at your signature.

I did run a couple of tests earlier today and can confirm there is an issue with most of the font files I generated last year, though I did get success with font ebrima.

 

Posting here for my own ref so I can come back to this another time..

Taking a quick look at the debug build when using the Candara font I see the log stopped at:

 

When using PickerAttributes 17 (0x11)

The last entry in the log before the UI does not redraw:

OCUI: console attributes: 2
OCUI: UseDiskLabel: 0, UseGenericLabel: 0

and with PickerAttributes 18 (0x12)

The last entry in the log before the UI does not redraw:

OCUI: console attributes: 2
OCUI: UseDiskLabel: 1, UseGenericLabel: 0
OC: Got label 0 icon 0 for type 128 - OpenShell.efi
OCB: Get custom label UEFI Shell - Not found

For comparison, using the default font with PickerAttributes 17 (0x11)

The last entry in the log before the UI redraws:

OCUI: console attributes: 2
OCUI: UseDiskLabel: 0, UseGenericLabel: 0
OC: Got label 0 icon 0 for type 256 - Reset NVRAM
OCB: OcGetBootEntryIcon - Reset NVRAM (tool) - Not Found

and with PickerAttributes 18 (0x12)

The last entry in the log before the UI redraws:

Interesting observation. I've not encountered this myself, but then I don't use either ProperTree or OpenCore Configurator. Maybe notify the app devs to make them aware of it?

Mackie100 has answered there is no problem to make the change, I hope in OpenCore Configurator next release the name of the tool will be UEFI Shell.

Corpnewt hasn't answered yet (ProperTree), I suppose you have tried the new version from a few days ago, with dark and light themes for the main window, I had the version from a few months ago and it did not have the option to change the theme.

[blackosx]

Good news! Well done. No rush with ProperTree, I’m sure it’ll filter through in time.

 

TBH, I didn’t spend that much time with ProperTree so didn’t really notice the light/dark themes.

[blackosx]

I finally got some time today to tick a few more icons off my list.

 

Set3 icons have been updated with ResetSystemCold, ResetSystemFirmware, ResetSystemShutdown and ResetSystemWarm icons.

 

 

These are to be used when using the ResetSystem.efi tool and you have it enabled in config.plist. The tool accepts different arguments; ColdReset, Firmware, Shutdown and WarmReset. For more information, see the OpenCore documentation.

 

Usage:

If you have ResetSystem.efi in OC/Resources/Tools directory then place the icon in OC/Resources/Tools directory and name it ResetSystem.efi.icns.

 

Or maybe you wanted two icons visible and you duplicated ResetSystem.efi so renamed it ResetSystemWarm.efi and added that tool with associated argument to config.plist. In this case you would add ResetSystemWarm.efi.icns also.

 

Important:

As with any OpenCore tool, read the documentation first to make sure you understand what it does and how it can affect your system.

 

I'll look at updating the SetBuilder script tomorrow.

hi  are CleanNvram and ResetNVRAM the same thing? I would see the shell icon very well as a button like the shutdown icon, what do you think?

[blackosx]

At a quick glance at the OpenCore documentation I see:

CleanNvram* Reset NVRAM alternative bundled as a standalone tool.

 

But I wouldn't like to say without researching it. Maybe you could take a look at the code, search here at IM, or check the acidanthera bug tracker for any previous questions about them?

OK, I've tried both of them Reset NVRAM reboots directly while CleanNvram cleans but needs to be restarted. What do you think of the Shell icon like that?
