Hi all

Just wondering if there is a way to add the arial font to the skin.

I have korean files and folders on my usb drive which are not displaying correctly.

Currently running jarvis 16.1 and metropolis 3.3.1 on an apple fire tv.

Huge thank you to all the skinners for the continued support for this awesome skin!!!!

You could add this just after the </fontset> line in the Font.xml file under the 720p folder in the addon directory. (around line 355)
Code:
    <fontset id="Ugly-Arial">
        <!-- Metropolis Fonts -->

Remember though, it will no longer look like Metropolis.
Jingai was looking into a better solution, but it's hard to find a bunch of visually similar fonts to what Metropolis is currently using, oh, and even harder to find free ones.

If you put in the footwork to find visually similar fonts that support more languages, it would go a long way to getting native support. (assuming they're free, or at least released for use in Metropolis by the author)
