Want to install font with Arabic characters? Can't find the fonts folder.
#1
Hey guys, the current Arial font in XBMC live does not support arabic characters so I want to add one that does. I am currently SSH'ing into my system but I cannot find the font folder. All the searching I have done say look for a media folder, yet that folder isn't there. Any suggestions?

here are the locations of the fonts folder on my system.

Code:
/usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts

/home/[b]USERNAME[/b]/.xbmc/media/fonts

/home/xbmc/.xbmc/skin/[b]SKIN NAME[/b]/fonts

You see thats whats weird, I don't have a media folder under XBMC. I did however find the Arial font that XBMC uses, which was just placed in the system folder iirc, replaced it. Still no luck with the arabic characters, oh well.

create the XBMC font directory

Code:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts

and then copy the font into that directory, XBMC should pick it up.
