Any way of changing teletext font in MP. (1 Viewer)

[JacobJust]

Hi All

Are there any way of changing teletext font in MP.

My font is "chipped" off the 20% in top of font.

Settings in MP under teletext font does nothing (%size of font).

Maybe if i could select other font it would help.

(using TVserver with MP.)

Regards

Did you select the "autosize to skin" option in general settings? These are known to break TTX fonts.

To change the font itself you'd have to compile MP locally.

Does this mean with this option checked, you would have symptoms like JacobJust or the opposite. Thinking of adding it to the FAQ...

On my system the last time I could check the symptoms where vertically chopped off fonts.
This was sizing to widescreen. I guess e.g. on a non-square-pixel plasma stretching horizontally will have the effect JacobJust has described.

Hi ...

No i did not check "autosize to skin" ...

It seems that teletext is ok in menu, but broken fonts in teletext when in Full Screen only.

Screen is 1360x768, Desktop is 1360x768 and skin is 1280x720.

Any idea ...

Regards

Screen is 1360x768, Desktop is 1360x768 and skin is 1280x720.

Could you try with a desktop resolution of 1280x720 to check whether it affects your problem?

Rtv,
It would be very nice if you could point to the place in the code, where to change the font for Teletext.
I would have assumed it was taken from fonts.xml but that seems not to be the case.

I have been looking for some time, but really cannot pin point the place. I am talking about "real" teletext page 100-600 not the font for teletext subtitles.

I have no problem compiling locally.

Try "Mediaportal\TVCapture\teletext\TeletextPageRenderer.cs -> RenderPage()

Thanks - exactly the code I was looking for.

Now the thing is that you are treating the font as a fixed pitch (_fontwidth = _pageRenderWidth / 40 ), because you have to obey the 40 characters in teletext, so the reason why the teletext is so widely spaced is because of
(int _pageRenderWidth = 1920 ) - hm.

I will play around with the rectangle size, one of these days. Maybe different rectangels for 4/3 and 16/9 TV's is nessesary (I have never seen the Teletext on 4/3)

Somehow I think I can remember something about getting the Width of each character in a proportional font - but I guess the rectangel will be easier to change.

Well, well it was not in Mediaportal but the TVClient plugin, so tried a font change and resized fullscreen teletext to "kind of" 4/3 on a 16/9 screen - it is a lot easier to read now.
