Tools and resources for creating custom fonts for your X4 tablet
Several tools exist to generate fonts for the X4 tablet. Custom fonts allow you to personalize your reading experience with different styles, sizes, and character spacing.
Recommended Online Tool
We recommend using the XTEink Web Font Maker, an online tool that allows you to convert TTF/OTF fonts to .bin format compatible with your X4 tablet. The tool includes a gallery of pre-converted fonts ready to download.
