Hi,

I have a problem with the font included in the black glass package.
I followed the instructions and copied / installed the font in the font folder of windows (windows 7).
But when i start mediaportal, i have always a large scale font. It seems that it doesn't use the correct font.
Because when i delete it from the font folder, it's the same problem than with it.

The problem started first when i changed from winXP to win7.
I use a german version. So the font-file is called automatically Sansation_Standard and not Sansation_Regular.

I don't want to miss that great looking skin. Perhaps someone know a workaround for that problem.

thx

Peter

    Have you changed the font dpi settings in windows 7?

    Can you please post a screenshot?

    Thanks

    Yes, i changed the dpi to 150.
    But i set it back to normal and the same problem.

    Here a picture of my problem. It's in all pages the same large font.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I deleted with the console all 4 Sansation_Regular files (why windows doesn't overwrite the old one???)
    Then i did the installation with the extension installer. Btw, the installer does not install the font in the windows directory.
    Now i have a normal looking scale. But without your font.

    Here a Picture how it looks now:

    I checked it with the pictures of your release and they aren't the same font.

    lol @ pic :)

    after you change dpi, close MediaPortal, remove cache folder:

    C:\Users\All Users\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache\Black Glass*, and restart..

    Should be fine then..

    Yeah, the cache. I always forget to clear the cache directory. Thanks for the hint.

    So that's my workaround now:

    - Set dpi settings back to normal 100%
    - Cleared cache and started MP -> looks good
    - Set dpi settings to 150
    - DID NOT cleared cache
    - Started MP and the scale was same as at 100 dpi

    Until i don't clear the cache i have the correct scale.

    Although i set the check box in the file-properties of MP don't to scale at large dpi -> windows do what it want.
    One reason why i prefer linux.

    Do you have a idea of a solution, providing that i'm not the only one with that problem?

    You have to ask Mediaportal developers, not me! :)

    Thanks
