After playing with foucs for the last week or so i am really really impressed. thx for all your work again, i cant wait for the update (and your new skin of course )
One thing im missing is Unicode support. All my unicode text appear as empty boxes (which is especially painfull with all my mythtv recordings which i cant distinguish between..)
I have tried "fixing" it by myself by kinda following the guide on fonts on the xbmc wiki but since i really dont know what im doing had no results...
Is there any chance to include a unicode font or modify to current one to support unicode?
I am very willing to help but take in mind that im a complete newbee in the area and dont know any programing
thx alot again

Sure, that's something I'd like to look into. Finding fonts is hard though. I mean there are a lot of fonts to be found, it's just hard to find fonts that I find suitable for the skin. Also I need to take the kerning of the font into account so there are no problems with text not fitting on controls and such. And since I highly prefer to do things "legit" I want a font that is free to use AND distribute. And that last one is the hardest part by far.
