6puzzles from Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection, an open source
7collection of single-player puzzle games.

9\subsubsection{Puzzle Documentation}
10For documentation on the games included, please see the ``Extensive
11Help'' menu option from inside the plugin to read puzzle-specific
12instructions or visit their official website at
13\url{https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/}.

15\subsubsection{Dynamic Font Sizing}
16By default, each game will only use one of two fonts in drawing: the
17hard-coded system font for fixed-width text, and the theme's UI font
18for variable-width text. For improved puzzle rendering, each puzzle is
19capable of using a special font pack when it is installed. This font
20pack is available from
21\url{http://download.rockbox.org/useful/sgt-fonts.zip}. To install,
22simply extract the contents of this file to the
23\fname{/.rockbox/fonts/} directory on your device. Once this has been
24done, each game will dynamically load and use properly-sized fonts
25whenever needed.
26
27\note{On hard disk-based devices, this may cause a slight delay as the
28 disk spins up to load the fonts when a puzzle is first started, and
29 after using the ``Extensive Help'' feature.}
