And select Arial Uni in appearance.
Or if you are using other skin , rename arialuni,ttf to arial,ttf would probably do the trick for most skins. Mine using Aeon Nox and it works fine.
Hi
Thanks for the reply!
I did try and copy the arialuni.ttf file from my Windows 7 PC to the Ubuntu HTPC. However I had no fonts sub-folder under media at:
/home/xbmc/.xbmc/media
I am using Aeon MQ4 skin, I did find a fonts folder located at:
/home/xbmc/.xbmc/addons/skin.aeonmq.4/fonts
So this is where I copied the arialuni.ttf file too, I then renamed it to arial.ttf and rebooted the HTPC but still no Thai text appearing on our music albums that are Thai, or in the XBMC YouTube add-on for Thai videos etc.
In the XBMC settings under Appearance there are only two options under font: Default or Cyrilic.
The only other thing I can see in settings to do with fonts is in Video -> Subtitles - Font to use for text subtitles - it says Arial.ttf but I think this is unrelated.
Maybe I need to create this fonts directory? at this location:
/home/xbmc/.xbmc/media/fonts
I will have another go later see if I can get it working,
Many thanks Oldpoem
