Seems the site is broken with IE8, can't download...
EDIT: Venealis, are you uising IE8?
EDIT 2: Installed git on my linux box instead.

Do you have javascript enabled in your browser? Clicking download opens a pop up asking you to chose between "zip" or "tar" file format. But it's not a normal window, is a popup on the page itself and it needs javascript for that.

So there's obviously a 'technicality' with some of the fonts Aeon uses, which is why I've excluded them from the github resource. I'll be posting a version with the newly standardised fonts on the website, and a zip with the fonts themselves here. So once you've got those installed you're good to go. It's not an ideal solution, but as the fonts shouldn't be changing a great deal it's serviceable enough.
People doing localisations should check the font.xml file and note the changes.

I wouldn't pay much attention that bit in the Assistant, it's just a string. And yes, you'll have to download the fonts the one time to put them in the directory, then you can just update from github. Unless you want the powers that be at github to declare a breach of their terms of service, of course...

Nazgulled: Each time you download a zip from the github repo or 'git pull' (if you use git from the command line) you get the newest and freshest version of Aeon.
Furthermore, if you learn to use git, you'll get a free gift in exchange: instead of downloading 80MB+ each time to get the last version, typing 2 words (git pull) on your command line, you'll be updated by just downloading the modifications done since your last 'git pull'. So from 80MB to 1k (most of the time), for each update.
PS: There are lots of additional advantages by using git, but that one is quite convincing to begin with, I guess.

Nazgulled: excuse me for personalizing this question. It was intended to be a general advice.

I'll dig up the keymap value for the button menu.
About the version number: it's not so much a difference between SVN and git as between XBMC and its skins. XBMC can supply its SVN build number because it's coded to do so; skins don't have that low-level functionality.

not using IE8 but i do have pop up blocker on. Usually it makes a sound or shows a symbol showing blocking popup but not this time. Will try at home.
Got home and on IE 7 still not able to download. Popups disables and javascipt is on.
