Hello,

Just started to use this beautiful skin and immediately noticed that in some places (menus, titles, descriptions) Polish characters are missing, while in other they are present. Please look at screenshot to see what I'm talking about. Movie title should say "Igrzyska Śmierci: Kosogłos. Część 1" while it says "Igrzyska mierci: Kosogłos. Cz 1". On the other hand there are all Polish characters in movie description. Is there any possibility to fix this?

It's the font, one is for the title above and a different one is for the plot. If the font used above was more complete, the characters would show up, but it's not (Jingai does not make this file). You can use any font you want, but the "style" and spacing will change.

If you add this:

Code:

    <fontset id="Kodi (DejaVu) (Most languages)">
        <!-- This has the effect of using the built in one from kodi   -->

between the last </fontset> and </fonts> tags in the fonts.xml file under 720p in the skins folder "skin.metropolis".

However, this will remove the differences between the various fonts and therefore screw up spacing and styling. You'll have to weigh the benefits and losses for yourself.

Thanks for that info. It's a shame that such beautiful font doesn't have polish characters. I'll try to substitute it with other font, but I'm afraid that every update to skin will revert those changes.

[jingai]

Yeah, I really wish I could find a more complete version of that font. Really don't want to change it as it fits the skin so well

[e6on]

I found more complete version of that smallcaps font.

It doesn't have Latin2 characters too. For now substituted it with Marcellus SC. It's a bit different, but looks good too and have all characters I need.
