Please elaborate

when I switch the UI language to Hebrew the Left titles are ok while on the main screen the xml strings are in that gibberish (squares instead of letters) font.

I tried changing fonts in the fonts folder inside the skin folder - but did not do any good...

I can use the arial that comes with windows 7 - where should I put it ?

thanks,
Amir

see %APPDATA%/xbmc/skin/Confluence/Fonts. depending on which charset you use in the ui, what file(s) to replace should be obvious.

reason for the change was licensing issues with the one we used earlier so we found a similar looking, although char-missing, replacement.

For subtitles - just replace your
xbmc\media\Fonts\arial.ttf
with
\windows\fonts\arial.ttf

Then go to settings-video-subtitles and chose arial

Enjoy Smile
