Split heap gate into separate free-memory (50KB) and largest-block (20KB) thresholds based on field measurements. Enable wolfSSL single-precision ECC to use fixed 256-bit arrays instead of heap-allocated fast-math bignums, reducing TLS handshake memory footprint. Reclaim ~7KB by right-sizing ESP timer task stacks and move WiFi code out of IRAM to free ~25-30KB for heap. Add memory audit landmarks for font and EPUB allocations.
Implements reportMemory() methods across SdCardFont, SdCardFontManager, and Section classes to track resident heap usage. Adds heap audit logging in EpubReaderActivity to attribute memory to fonts, framebuffer, section data, and other components for measurement-driven optimization.
Reverts crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader#1912
This was meant to be more robust with partial SD card fonts, but causes
trouble for folks using custom font sizes. We need a better approach to
decouple numeric font sizes from S/M/L/XL settings.
Add SdCardFontFamilyInfo::pickClosestSize(targetPtSize) and have the
manager and SdCardFontSystem drive size selection from a target point
size derived from the user's font-size enum (SMALL=12, MEDIUM=14,
LARGE=16, EXTRA_LARGE=18) rather than indexing the family's sorted size
list by enum ordinal.
The ordinal-slot approach mis-selects whenever a family doesn't ship the
canonical {12,14,16,18} set: a family with only [10,14,18] would map
SMALL/MEDIUM/LARGE/EXTRA_LARGE to 10/14/18/18 — fine for SMALL but
arbitrary for the rest. Closest-pt always picks the on-disk file nearest
to the user-intended point size, with a deterministic smaller-pt
tie-break.
No change for canonical-sized families.

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
