How many people are having issues due to the default font not being a true unicode font? I've debated switching the current font out for DejaVu. That will open it up for several more languages but it will remove some of the style that I like in the current font. It will also take a ton of time to update the skin...
Thanks,

I do like the current font but I would prefer unicode more.
Currently I have to go by the poster or album cover to see what I would like to play for my foreign stuff.

Well i would like to see unicode support in this skin, it is my main problem for not switching permanently to it from Night. The problem is that the provided all-language font is very big and in most layouts the characters get out of bounds.
I am sure that a unicode charset exists that is pretty close to the current fonts used so you don't have to make many changes.

I've noticed in a recent debug log a series of error messages stating:
"ERROR: Couldn't load font name: Font_Neon_55(Dejevu.ttf), trying to substitute arial.ttf"
Note the spelling of Dejevu...
I have DejaVu font on my system, and I'm assuming that the skin is trying to load the wrong font.
Any thoughts how this can be corrected?
BTW, Neon is having problems displaying the codec information on the screen in EDEN Beta 3. The font is too large and spilling off the screen. I've tried other skins and it works perfectly, so I'm thinking it might be related to this font problem.
Thanks, in advance,...

I fixed the errors by renaming and copying/renaming the font files under the Neon font directory. Got rid of all the errors, but the issue with the codec display during movie playback remains (runs off the right side of the screen).
BTW, the codec issue isn't a problem with other skins...
