Is it possible to change the home screen font?

It is possible but the change will effect the whole skin, currently StreamedMP uses all 19 font definations in fonts.xml.

basichome uses mediastream16tc and mediastream28tc used in 98 and 12 files respectifly - so changing these to use a differnet font from the current 'Fluid Title Caps' font would also effect large parts of the skin both in look and possibily formatting.

Having said that you can change the fonts used by editing the fonts.xml file and changing the filename tag for each font. I have been looking a new fonts on and off for a while but yet to find something the works - if you do find something that you think will suit and we are allowed to use please let us know.

thx

Thx for your answer trevor, i have tested xbmc for a while and i really love the font in AEON MQ2 skin.
I just wanted to test how it would look in streamedMp skin as i am planning to stick to MP in the future.
I am not a skinning guru so my skills are noob but i wanted to test it anyway, but i don't know were to put the font?
I know the xml to change..

    Thanks for your reply. In my configuration this setting is set to "no". To avoid misunderstandings, the MP window size changes on screen resolution changes, MP always fulfills the whole screen. Also, the home screen buttons size is adjusted. Only the font size is not adjusted to the new screen resolution.

    Installing other software, especially MP1, which is partly sharing Tv service with MP2, can make everything worse. Please upload your debug log files, if you want to solve the issue.

    Hi, I'll move this into an own thread under "feature requests". I like the idea, but I think we can currently not implement this with further changes. I've checked the models and there are no variables, that could be easily called.
