Apart from the crash, I confirm the issue with Greek.

MP uses D3D textures to render fonts. These textures are cached in the skin cache folder. If the new language uses different character range from the previous one, the cache should be cleared and the font textures recreated. Note that English uses characters up to 255 but Czech uses characters up to 382 (0x17E) IIRC (use charmap to see the Unicode code for a character - displayed as "U+xxxx"). Unfortunately AFAIK MP doesn't do that at the moment, although it should.

If you exit MP and clear the skin cache, then restart MP you will find that everything works as expected.

nikos1671 & frenzy: The crash would also happen with Greek if the language file was correct. Right now "characters" is set to 255 in the strings_el.xml but it should be 974 (0x3CE).

Hope some dev that knows his way around the font manager can fix this.

It has been like that in the previous version too but the error didn't occur.

However, the cache clearing+characters correction does fix it so for greek language users download the corrected strings_el.xml, replace the old one in program files/team mediaportal/mediaportal/language folder, and clear the cache.
Cheers arion_p, should you see errors like that in the future report them in the appropriate thread

Sorry - don't expect your weak Intel GPU to work without flaws.

Does the same happen if you choose Czech initially from the configuration?

Well, my week Intel GPU is my working PC here at work
The problem is cache.
Cache should be deleted/recreated when language is switched inside MP.

It is working fine when language is configured from MP configuration.
