Hi,

I noticed strange behaviour with fonts when local characters (in my case Croatian) are used in text. This is most noticeable in program guide. If you look closely in attached picture, whenever Croatian local characters are used in text, such as č, Č, ć, Ć, š, Š, đ, Đ, ž and Ž, fonts looks little thinner then without them. In first screenshot on bottom you can see difference between lines with and without local characters.

This behaviour is visible in all parts of MediaPortal (TV guide, Videos, Music) - see other screenshot.
I have clean installation of Win7 on my HTPC (only MP is installed) and I’ve noticed same behaviour on all my previous installations (WinXP, Vista) and all previous versions of MP.

Also this happens with all skins - even if the skin uses proprietary font (like mayatype for Maya skin) whenever local character appear in text, style for this line of text is changed.

I didn’t resize screenshots so you can notice difference easily.
