Modern mobile phones typically have high pixel density. Bootmenu is hardly readable on those with 8x16 font.
This patch series aims to add wider fonts for devices with high ppi.
Add 16x32 ter font from linux, and allow font size configuration. Use new font in starqltechn board.
Note: Only tested with 32BPP configuration. 8BPP and 16BPP testing may needed. I cannot do it, because I don't have such devices.
