I only have one problem. If I configure MiniDisplay to use text mode (using iMon embedded fonts) I get two lines of text on the display, so that on the first line I can see screen/dialog title and on the second the currently selected buton/option. This works great for basic navigation in MP with the TV off.

If on the other hand I use graphics mode (I believe the option is "Force graphics mode") it can display any language because it uses TruType fonts, but I haven't managed to get it to fit two lines of [U]readable[/U] text. Only way is to set the font size to below 6pt which makes text illegible. I believe the problem is the line spacing. Is there a way to make this work (e.g. is there a font with less line spacing so that it can fit 2 lines of, say, 8pt text in the 96x16 pixel display)? Alternatively, is there a way to change the line spacing? Thanks, Arion [/QUOTE]
