In passing, I've posed a number of other questions - any further insights ? Why is openelec's arial.ttf SO large yet missing lots of glyphs ?
Sorry I don't have any insights into this. My interest when investigating fonts was for subtitles. I haven't looked further to see if the interface was using them. Perhaps this might help you: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...o_the_skin
As for the .ttf size -- my guess would be compression (assuming .ttf supports some type of compression) or perhaps it has glyphs you weren't looking at or perhaps multiple variations (bold/italic) that duplicate existing glyphs?
