Add a complete SD card font subsystem that enables users to install and
use custom fonts beyond the three built-in families. This combines the
back-end firmware support (#1327) with the font configuration, build
pipeline, CI distribution, and user-facing management UI (#1392).
Core font system:
- Custom .cpfont binary format (v4) with multi-style support (regular,
bold, italic, bold-italic) packed into a single file per size
- On-demand glyph loading from SD card with two-pass prewarm rendering
to bulk-read glyphs per page, achieving near-flash performance for
Latin text (~697ms vs ~681ms) and viable CJK rendering (~32% slower)
- Persistent advance cache for layout measurement without SD I/O
- Overflow ring buffer for glyph cache misses during rendering
- Memory-conscious design: only advance tables kept in RAM; glyph
bitmaps, kern tables, and ligatures loaded on demand from SD
Font management:
- On-device WiFi download from GitHub Releases with manifest-based
discovery, install/update detection, and progress UI
- Web interface font upload, listing, and deletion via /fonts page
- Manual SD card copy to /fonts/ or /.fonts/ directories
- Font selection integrated into Settings > Reader > Font Family
Build pipeline:
- Declarative YAML config (sd-fonts.yaml) as single source of truth
for the 17-family font library (serif, sans, mono, accessibility)
- Python converter (fontconvert_sdcard.py) for TTF/OTF to .cpfont with
FreeType rasterization, class-based kerning, and ligature extraction
- Parallel build orchestrator with variable font instance extraction
- CI workflow publishing versioned + stable releases to a dedicated
crosspoint-fonts repository with auto-incrementing revision tags
- Centralized version constants (cpfont_version.py) shared across
build tooling and CI, with firmware headers as manual sync points
Additional fixes:
- CJK characters no longer get hyphens inserted at line breaks
- Advance table eliminates 30+ second stalls during CJK section
indexing for paragraphs with >512 unique codepoints
Closes#930

## Summary
Add ability to show a status bar for 1-bit XTC files (closes#1848)
Overlays a status bar (similar style to that for epubs) over the image.
Defaults to hidden, users can set to show and either top or bottom of
the screen within "Customize Status Bar" reader settings.
I've leaned toward a simple overlay approach rather than trying anything
clever e.g. resizing the original image or allowing for shifting the
image around. I think it's more straight forward for the user to create
a buffer zone when generating the XTC files.
For 2-bit image files, it'd require more work to handle the multiple
render passes so I'm holding off on that.
Sample from a Japanese text XTC

## Summary
Another follow up to #1408. That PR revised the language.bin settings
file to version 2. After merging, it occurred to me that it would make
more sense to have the language inside the overall settings.json file,
easy for users to see and change directly.
This change adds migration from language.bin to settings.json. It only
migrates from the pre-#1408 v1 language.bin format, because v2 has only
been in for a couple of commits and I don't think we need long-term
maintenance code to handle it.
#1408 had a potential long-term maintenance issue for migration. It
assumed that the enum order of languages never changes, only grows. So,
e.g. "Portuguese (Portugal)" could never be added next to "Portuguese
(Brazil)", only appended. This change includes a hardcoded frozen
ordering of the language indices as they existed at 2f969a9, and
migrates to storing a language code string in the settings.json instead
for future reordering flexibility.
Similar to the settings.bin to settings.json migration, which renames
settings.bin to settings.bin.bak, this change renames language.bin to
language.bin.bak after adding the language setting to settings.json.

## Summary
Fix https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/issues/1137
Introducing `HalFile`, a thin wrapper around `FsFile` that uses a global
mutex to protect file operations.
To test this PR, place the code below somewhere in the code base (I
placed it in `onGoToRecentBooks`)
```cpp
static auto testTask = [](void* param) {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
String json = Storage.readFile("/.crosspoint/settings.json");
LOG_DBG("TEST_TASK", "Read settings.json, bytes read: %u", json.length());
}
vTaskDelete(nullptr);
};
xTaskCreate(testTask, "test0", 8192, nullptr, 1, nullptr);
xTaskCreate(testTask, "test1", 8192, nullptr, 1, nullptr);
xTaskCreate(testTask, "test2", 8192, nullptr, 1, nullptr);
xTaskCreate(testTask, "test3", 8192, nullptr, 1, nullptr);
delay(1000);
```
It will reliably lead to crash on `master`, but will function correctly
with this PR.
A macro renaming trick is used to avoid changing too many downstream
code files.

## Summary
This PR aims to reduce the complexity of the status bar by splitting the
setting into 5:
- Chapter Page Count
- Book Progress %
- Progress Bar
- Chapter Title
- Battery Indicator
These are located within the new StausBarSettings activity, which also
shows a preview of the bar the user has created
<img width="513" height="806" alt="image"

/>
When updating from a previous version, the user's past settings are
honoured.
## Additional Context
The PR aims to remove any duplication of status bar code where possible,
and extracts the status bar rendering into a new component - StatusBar
It also adds a new (optional) padding option to the progress bar to
allow the status bar to be shifted upwards - this is only intended for
use in the settings.

## Summary
* This PR introduces a migration from binary file storage to JSON-based
storage for application settings, state, and various credential stores.
This improves readability, maintainability, and allows for easier manual
configuration editing.
* Benefits:
- Settings files are now JSON and can be easily read/edited manually
- Easier to inspect application state and settings during development
- JSON structure is more flexible for future changes
* Drawback: around 15k of additional flash usage
* Compatibility: Seamless migration preserves existing user data
## Additional Context
1. New JSON I/O Infrastructure files:
- JsonSettingsIO: Core JSON serialization/deserialization logic using
ArduinoJson library
- ObfuscationUtils: XOR-based password obfuscation for sensitive data
2. Migrated Components (now use JSON storage with automatic binary
migration):
- CrossPointSettings (settings.json): Main application settings
- CrossPointState (state.json): Application state (open book, sleep
mode, etc.)
- WifiCredentialStore (wifi.json): WiFi network credentials (Password
Obfuscation: Sensitive data like WiFi passwords, uses XOR encryption
with fixed keys. Note: This is obfuscation, not cryptographic security -
passwords can be recovered with the key)
- KOReaderCredentialStore (koreader.json): KOReader sync credentials
- RecentBooksStore (recent.json): Recently opened books list
3. Migration Logic
- Forward Compatibility: New installations use JSON format
- Backward Compatibility: Existing binary files are automatically
migrated to JSON on first load
- Backup Safety: Original binary files are renamed with .bak extension
after successful migration
- Fallback Handling: If JSON parsing fails, system falls back to binary
loading
4. Infrastructure Updates
- HalStorage: Added rename() method for backup operations

## Summary
This pull request introduces a new "Chapter Progress Bar" mode to the
status bar, allowing users to track their progress within the current
chapter in addition to the existing book-level progress options. It also
unifies and increases the progress bar height for better visibility, and
updates the settings UI to support the new mode.
Closes#636
**Status Bar/Progress Bar Enhancements:**
* Added a new `CHAPTER_PROGRESS_BAR` mode to
`CrossPointSettings::STATUS_BAR_MODE`, and updated the settings UI to
allow users to select this mode.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
The goal of this PR is to deliver a fix for or at least mitigate the
impact of the issue described in #561
* **What changes are included?**
This PR includes a new option "Sunlight Fading Fix" under "Settings ->
Display".
When set to ON, we will disable the displays analog supply voltage after
every update and turn it back on before the next update.
## Additional Context
* Until now, I was only able to do limited testing because of limited
sunlight at my location, but the fix seems to be working. I'll also
attach a pre-built binary based on 0.16.0 (current master) with the fix
applied to the linked ticket, as building this fix is a bit annoying
because the submodule open-x4-sdk also needs an update.
* [PR in
open-x4-sdk](https://github.com/open-x4-epaper/community-sdk/pull/15)
needs to be merged first, we also need to add another commit to this
here PR, updating this dependency.
* I decided to hide this behind a default-OFF option. While I'm not
really concerned that this fix might potentially damage the display,
someone more knowledgeable on E-Ink technology could maybe have a look
at this.
* There's a binary attached in the linked issue, if someone has the
required sunlight to test this in-depth.

## Summary
### What is the goal of this PR?
- Visual UI overhaul
- UI theme selection
### What changes are included?
- Added a setting "UI Theme": Classic, Lyra
- The classic theme is the current Crosspoint theme
- The Lyra theme implements these mockups:
https://www.figma.com/design/UhxoV4DgUnfrDQgMPPTXog/Lyra-Theme?node-id=2003-7596&t=4CSOZqf0n9uQMxDt-0
by Discord users yagofarias, ruby and gan_shu
- New functions in GFXRenderer to render rounded rectangles, greyscale
fills (using dithering) and thick lines
- Basic UI components are factored into BaseTheme methods which can be
overridden by each additional theme. Methods that are not overridden
will fallback to BaseTheme behavior. This means any new
features/components in CrossPoint only need to be developed for the
"Classic" BaseTheme.
- Additional themes can easily be developed by the community using this
foundation
## Additional Context
- Only the Home, Library and main Settings screens have been implemented
so far, this will be extended to the transfer screens and chapter
selection screen later on, but we need to get the ball rolling somehow
:)
- Loading extra covers on the home screen in the Lyra theme takes a
little more time (about 2 seconds), I added a loading bar popup (reusing
the Indexing progress bar from the reader view, factored into a neat UI
component) but the popup adds ~400ms to the loading time.
- ~~Home screen thumbnails will need to be generated separately for each
theme, because they are displayed in different sizes. Because we're
using dithering, displaying a thumb with the wrong size causes the
picture to look janky or dark as it does on the screenshots above. No
worries this will be fixed in a future PR.~~ Thumbs are now generated
with a size parameter
- UI Icons will need to be implemented in a future PR.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** This PR introduces a new "Status Bar"
mode that displays a visual progress bar at the bottom of the screen,
providing readers with a graphical indication of their position within
the book.
* **What changes are included?**
* **Settings**: Updated SettingsActivity to expand the "Status Bar"
configuration with a new option: Full w/ Progress Bar.
* **EPUB Reader**: Modified EpubReaderActivity to calculate the global
book progress and render a progress bar at the bottom of the viewable
area when the new setting is active.
* **TXT Reader**: Modified TxtReaderActivity to implement similar
progress bar rendering logic based on the current page and total page
count.
## Additional Context
* The progress bar is rendered with a height of 4 pixels at the very
bottom of the screen (adjusted for margins).
* The feature reuses the existing renderStatusBar logic but
conditionally draws the bar instead of (or in addition to) other
elements depending on the specific implementation details in each
reader.
* Renamed existing 'Full' mode to 'Full w/ Percentage'
* Added new 'Full w/ Progress Bar' option

Our esp32 consistently dropped the last few packets of the TCP transfer
in the old implementation. Only about 1/5 transfers would complete. I've
refactored that entire system into an actual Calibre Device Plugin that
basically uses the exact same system as the web server's file transfer
protocol. I kept them separate so that we don't muddy up the existing
file transfer stuff even if it's basically the same at the end of the
day I didn't want to limit our ability to change it later.
I've also added basic auth to OPDS and renamed that feature to OPDS
Browser to just disassociate it from Calibre.

## Summary
* Adds (optional) Hyphenation for English, French, German, Russian
languages
## Additional Context
* Included hyphenation dictionaries add approximately 280kb to the flash
usage (German alone takes 200kb)
* Trie encoded dictionaries are adopted from hypher project
(https://github.com/typst/hypher)
* Soft hyphens (and other explicit hyphens) take precedence over
dict-based hyphenation. Overall, the hyphenation rules are quite
aggressive, as I believe it makes more sense on our smaller screen.

* This PR adds a setting to (additionally) map the forward page turn
onto the powerbutton when in `EPUBReaderActivity` and powerbutton short
press is not mapped to sleep mode. I find the powerbutton to be exactly
where my thumb is while reading so it is very convenient to map the
forwardpage turn to that. Maybe Im not alone with this ^^

## Summary
Fixes https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/233
## Additional Context
By disabling the Text Anti-Aliasing in the settings, you can get faster
black-and-white page turns that work exactly like the stock firmware,
instead of having an additional flash after rendering (see issue linked
above for example).
Tested on the X4 and confirmed working.

## Summary
Adds support for browsing and downloading books from a Calibre-web
server via OPDS.
How it works
1. Configure server URL in Settings → Calibre Web URL (e.g.,
https://myserver.com:port I use Cloudflare tunnel to make my server
accessible anywhere fwiw)
2. "Calibre Library" will now show on the the home screen
3. Browse the catalog - navigate through categories like "By Newest",
"By Author", "By Series", etc.
4. Download books - select a book and press Confirm to download the EPUB
to your device
Navigation
- Up/Down - Move through entries
- Confirm - Open folder or download book
- Back - Go to parent catalog, or exit to home if at root
- Navigation entries show with > prefix, books show title and author
- Button hints update dynamically ("Open" for folders, "Download" for
books)
Technical details
- Fetches OPDS catalog from {server_url}/opds
- Parses both navigation feeds (catalog links) and acquisition feeds
(downloadable books)
- Maintains navigation history stack for back navigation
- Handles absolute paths in OPDS links correctly (e.g.,
/books/opds/navcatalog/...)
- Downloads EPUBs directly to the SD card root
Note
The server URL should be typed to include https:// if the server
requires it - HTTP→HTTPS redirects may cause SSL errors on ESP32.
## Additional Context
* I also changed the home titles to use uppercase for each word and
added a setting to change the size of the side margins

Added a setting to select `fit` or `crop` for cover image on sleep
screen.
Might add a `expand` feature in the future that does not crop but rather
fills the blank space with a mirror of the image.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
* This PR adds a setting to control the top left and right margins of
the reader screen in 4 sizes (5, 10, 20, 40 pt?) and defaults to `SMALL`
which is equivalent to the fixed margin of 5 that was already in use
before.
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add a new user setting for paragraph alignment, instead of hard-coding
full justification.
* **What changes are included?**
One new line in the settings screen, with 4 options
(justify/left/center/right). Default is justified since that's what it
was already. I personally only wanted to disable justification and use
"left", but I included the other options for completeness since they
were already supported.
## Additional Context
Tested on my X4 and looks as expected for each alignment.

## Summary
* Swap from Aleo to Bookerly for wider glyph support
* Swap from Space Grotesk to a small Noto Sans
## Additional Context
* 0.11.0 swapped to Aleo which has a few issues (things like Cyrillic
support for eg)
## Summary
* Add setting for line spacing to adjust space between lines
* Aleo is already a bit tighter than Noto Sans and Open Dyslexic, so
have adjusted the values to match, this can be tweaked in the future
## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
Adds a setting to swap the front buttons. The default functionality are:
Back/Confirm/Left/Right. When this setting is enabled they become:
Left/Right/Back/Confirm. This makes it more comfortable to use when
holding in your right hand since your thumb can more easily rest on the
next button. The original firmware has a similar setting.
**What changes are included?**
- Add the new setting.
- Create a mapper to dynamically switch the buttons based on the
setting.
- Use mapper on the various activity screens.
- Update the button hints to reflect the swapped buttons.
## Additional Context
Full disclosure: I used Codex CLI to put this PR together, but did
review it to make sure it makes sense.

• What is the goal of this PR?
Implement a horizontal EPUB reading mode so books can be read in
landscape orientation (both 90° and 270°), while keeping the rest of the
UI in portrait.
• What changes are included?
◦ Rendering / Display
▪ Added an orientation model to GfxRenderer (Portrait, LandscapeNormal,
LandscapeFlipped) and made:
▪ drawPixel, drawImage, displayWindow map logical coordinates
differently depending on orientation.
▪ getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() return orientation‑aware logical
dimensions (480×800 in portrait, 800×480 in landscape).
◦ Settings / Configuration
▪ Extended CrossPointSettings with:
▪ landscapeReading (toggle for portrait vs. landscape EPUB reading).
▪ landscapeFlipped (toggle to flip landscape 180° so both horizontal
holding directions are supported).
▪ Updated settings serialization/deserialization to persist these fields
while remaining backward‑compatible with existing settings files.
▪ Updated SettingsActivity to expose two new toggles:
▪ “Landscape Reading”
▪ “Flip Landscape (swap top/bottom)”
◦ EPUB Reader
▪ In EpubReaderActivity:
▪ On onEnter, set GfxRenderer orientation based on the new settings
(Portrait, LandscapeNormal, or LandscapeFlipped).
▪ On onExit, reset orientation back to Portrait so Home, WiFi, Settings,
etc. continue to render as before.
▪ Adjusted renderStatusBar to position the status bar and battery
indicator relative to GfxRenderer::getScreenHeight() instead of
hard‑coded Y coordinates, so it stays correctly at the bottom in both
portrait and landscape.
◦ EPUB Caching / Layout
▪ Extended Section cache metadata (section.bin) to include the logical
screenWidth and screenHeight used when pages were generated; bumped
SECTION_FILE_VERSION.
▪ Updated loadCacheMetadata to compare:
▪ font/margins/line compression/extraParagraphSpacing and screen
dimensions; mismatches now invalidate and clear the cache.
▪ Updated persistPageDataToSD and all call sites in EpubReaderActivity
to pass the current GfxRenderer::getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() so
portrait and landscape caches are kept separate and correctly sized.
Additional Context
• Cache behavior / migration
◦ Existing section.bin files (old SECTION_FILE_VERSION) will be detected
as incompatible and their caches cleared and rebuilt once per chapter
when first opened after this change.
◦ Within a given orientation, caches will be reused as before. Switching
orientation (portrait ↔ landscape) will cause a one‑time re‑index of
each chapter in the new orientation.
• Scope and risks
◦ Orientation changes are scoped to the EPUB reader; the Home screen,
Settings, WiFi selection, sleep screens, and web server UI continue to
assume portrait orientation.
◦ The renderer’s orientation is a static/global setting; if future code
uses GfxRenderer outside the reader while a reader instance is active,
it should be aware that orientation is no longer implicitly fixed.
◦ All drawing primitives now go through orientation‑aware coordinate
transforms; any code that previously relied on edge‑case behavior or
out‑of‑bounds writes might surface as logged “Outside range” warnings
instead.
• Testing suggestions / areas to focus on
◦ Verify in hardware:
▪ Portrait mode still renders correctly (boot, home, settings, WiFi,
reader).
▪ Landscape reading in both directions:
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = OFF.
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = ON.
▪ Status bar (page X/Y, % progress, battery icon) is fully visible and
aligned at the bottom in all three combinations.
◦ Open the same book:
▪ In portrait first, then switch to landscape and reopen it.
▪ Confirm that:
▪ Old portrait caches are rebuilt once for landscape (you should see the
“Indexing…” page).
▪ Progress save/restore still works (resume opens to the correct page in
the current orientation).
◦ Ensure grayscale rendering (the secondary pass in
EpubReaderActivity::renderContents) still looks correct in both
orientations.

Add setting toggle that allows status bar display options in EpubReader.
Supported options would be as follows:
- FULL: display as is today
- PROGRESS: display progress bar only
- BATTERY: display battery only
- NONE: hide status bar

Adresses #53
Please check if we still need the code to "Give the user up to 1000ms to
start holding the power button, and must hold for
SETTINGS.getPowerButtonDuration()" - the power button should be pressed
already when waking up...
Also, decided to return before the delay to wait more to make the
behavior more immediate.
