Different font types plus Greek support

yian · 2004-08-02, 09:26

Hi there.

First of all I wanna say that MP is a great program, far better from myHTPC - Meedio and Xlobby.
But I have problem with Greek fonts.
I tried everyting I can imagine but with no luck.
So any suggestions or a solution would be great.

Thanks in advance

Yiannis

Hmm, to change a font don't you have to do the .png file etc? It would be great if a tutorial on the subject magicly would appear. And also, if you create a font set, post it for download in the forum so that skinners can use them

Can't think of what you mean...

The first I tried was to change the fonts in fonts.xml but with no luck.
Also I noticed that the fonts in the MP remained the same (Trebuchet MS) which explains the point of Samsonite about creating the .pngs

There is a folder in the skin folder named fonts. In that folder there are some .png files with fonts in them. I was under the impression that they where good for something... at all... or are they just there to bloat the skins? hehe

Those r cached fonts made on startup first time.

Can be recreated using other typefaces ??
Maybe this is the solution to my problem ...

I myself have never tried to change the fonts.
I will check this surely in the coming month as we r now in debug mode
