Revamp Your OSD Instantly with Beautiful HD fonts!

digital fpv systems like DJI walks nail

and hd0 have the ability to display

on-screen display in the goggles just

like analog systems and just like analog

systems the fonts that they use are big

blocky monochrome

it's like we've got high definition high

resolution displays but we're still

using these old outdated fonts wouldn't

it be nice if we could have crisp high

resolution color fonts in our digital

goggle OSD yes it would and yes you can

I'm Joshua Bardwell and you're going to

learn something today usually when I

make a video like this I try to only put

the stuff in the video that you actually

need to know to do the thing that the

video is about but this video is a

little bit weird because all three of

the digital video systems DJI walks down

in hd0 have the capability of doing

custom fonts but the way that you set

them up and the exact capabilities are

different between them and I don't think

it makes sense to split this content

into three separate videos especially

because some people out there have all

of these systems that are going to be

using all of this information as a

reminder there are timestamps and

chapter markers down in the video

description below as well as YouTube is

showing the timestamp after markers in

the timeline at the bottom of the video

and you can use that to easily skip to

the part of the video that you're most

interested in but we're going to start

this video with something that everybody

is going to need to know no matter what

video system they're working with and

that is how to find the font files and

download the font files that are then

going to be used to change the font that

is shown in the goggles for the sake of

Simplicity we're going to be doing this

tutorial with the fonts available from

sneaky fpv and I'll put a link to this

website down in the video description

below the reason we're doing this is

that sneaky fpv funds well first of all

they look pretty nice but that's just a

matter of personal preference and you

may find that other font packs out there

look better for your particular needs

the other reason we're going to go with

sneaky is that sneaky has fonts for all

of the systems that we're going to be

working with there are separate fonts

for wtfos walk snail and HD zero and

this is nice because if you like this

font you're probably going to want to be

able to use it it on all of the systems

that you might have the other font packs

that are out there not all of them have

fonts available for all of the different

variants that we might want to work with

the other variant that we need to be

aware of is that the fonts are different

depending on which flight control

firmware you're using so you can see

here that there are fonts for rgpilot

betaflight and inav and don't worry if

you have multiple different quadcopters

with multiple different firmwares on

them then you can install multiple fonts

to the different goggles and they will

use the correct one for whichever

firmware that you've got we'll go more

into detail on that as we get into the

individual sections the first system

we're going to demonstrate this on is

the DJI system and I'm holding the DJI

V2 goggles and that's not a coincidence

if you have the DJI goggles 2 and or you

have the O3 air unit this isn't going to

work on those this is only going to work

on the V1 and the V2 goggles and the

older generation of video train

transmitters the Vista the runcam link

the DJI air unit anything except for the

O3 if you have the O3 and the goggles 2

they support the full betaflight OSD but

they don't support the custom fonts that

we're going to demonstrate here

in some ways the DJI system is the

simplest one to set up once you have OSD

working all you have to do to set it up

is copy some files onto the SD card and

that's it but in other ways it's the

most complicated one to get working

because the V2 goggles and the Vista

generation of video transmitters don't

support full betaflight OSD at all never

mind custom fonts and I'm really torn on

how to approach this because I like to

have everything you need to know in one

video but I also have tutorials about

how to get OSD working and I think the

safest and smartest thing to do is to

refer you to those so number one you

need to root the goggles and root the

air unit using

wtfos I've got a tutorial how to do that

you root them you install wtfos on them

and you install the MSP OSD plugin if

you've already done all that fantastic

if you haven't done all that you're

going to pause the video you're going to

go down to the video to description find

the link and you're going to go to my

tutorial about how to do those things

after that

now they're rooted and you have wtfos

installed yay you need to set up your

flight controller and I've got a

tutorial about how to do that and it is

linked in the video description below

and if you haven't got a working OSD in

your goggles with betaflight preferably

betaflight 4.4 although that's not

mandatory for this for this to work

if you don't have that you're going to

go down there and you can watch that

tutorial and then you're going to come

back here okay at this point you have a

working beta flight OSD or archipilot or

inav I keep saying that but I only have

tutorials for betaflight because

of who I am as a person you've got a

working OSD in your DJI goggles and what

you want to know is how do I do the

custom font and this is the part that

could not be simpler

I'm going to take the SD card out of the

goggles

I'm going to put the SD card in a card

reader get it on my computer and I am

simply going to copy the font files that

I've selected into the root of the SD

card so here's basically the the very

first folder of the SD card that pops up

that's literally all you have to do once

those files are present on the SD card

then the goggle will read them and we'll

use them now there's a couple of little

quirks here that you should know about

and one of the quirks is that you can

actually have multiple sets of font

files for multiple different types of

flight controller so these are the

default fonts and you can see there's

font dot bin font underscore ardu.bin

for rgpilot font underscore BF dot bin

for betaflight font underscore I nav and

font underscore Ultra for kiss Ultra if

you fly quadcopters with multiple

different flight controllers you're

going to want to download all of those

fonts and you're going to want to put

all of them on your SD card and the nice

thing is that wtfos will automatically

detect what type of flight controller

you've got and automatically load the

correct font the reason there's

different fonts for different flight

controllers is that different flight

controllers use different character sets

in their osds so you can't just have one

sort of Master font for all of them but

personally I fly almost exclusively

betaflight so I've simply copied the BF

betaflight fonts and that's all I need

to do to have it working although it's

very simple to set this up there is

something about it that really bugs me

and that is that the fonts are stored on

the SD card which means that if you

format your SD card which I make a habit

at the beginning of every flight session

I put a fresh SD card into the goggles

and I format the SD card and then when

at the end of the flight session I take

the SD card out I put it in the computer

I read the files and then later I do it

all again I don't leave a single SD card

in the goggles all the time and I

regularly format it just to make sure

it's clean and ready to go and if you do

that your font files will get erased

so wouldn't it be nice if there was a
