Adding new fonts (1 Viewer)

[Josip]

Hi! My first post, he he...
Anyway, can someone point me to some kind of tutorial for font adding? Or should I say, I'm trying to add 5 more symbols to the existing font database (to default arial fonts), and those symbols are: Å¡, Ä‘, Ä, ć, ž
So how would I do that? Do I edit those *.png files in fonts sub-folder? Or?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

those files are created by MP itself...

the font you use is defined in the skin

if you need to use special characters you probably just need to switch the language in the MP configuration

I did switch to Croatian, but these five symbols still don't show... It's really annoying since Croatian EPG contains these symbols, and they don't show up, which makes the text look very crappy...

Are you sure these symbols ARE imported in your EPG?
Have you checked the XML it produces?

Could be wrong encoding for your XML not an MP problem.

This above is a sample XML for my EPG, as you can see the symbols in question show quite fine, but the problem is that for example file "font18_24.png" located in fonts sub-folder in skins folder doesn't contain these symbols, so they don't show up in MP

I get it.

Probably something for the devs.

 

[Josip]

Can you tell me how would I be able to contact the devs?

 

[NLS]

they should see this post

or better try testteam-mediaportal.com

UPDATE: Now this is really weird. When I set main language to English (or any other, except Croatian), the symbols in question show fine in TVGuide, but when it's set to Croatian those symobls won't show...
Any ideas? A very nasty bug, I hope developers do something about that...
