I am Linux newbee, too. my stupid method, also works for xbmc lives
first rename the new multi-language font file to
arial.ttf
then in winxp, install
winscp and use it to FTP the new arial.ttf to /home/xbmc/
if you have UBUNTU full install XBMC , you can copy it by USB thumb drive under UBUNTU.
for XBMC Lives :
============
in xbmc, press ctrl-alt-f1 into terminal mode,
user : xbmc
password : xbmc
PHP Code:
cd /usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts/
<---- the command same as dir, you should see the old arial.ttf
PHP Code:
sudo cp /home/xbmc/arial.ttf arial.ttf
<-- copy new font replace old
ctrl-alt-f7 back to xbmc
restart XBMC
choose arial.ttf and change the region....
for UBUNTU XBMC
=============
just open terminal, and do the same as above
Quote:cd /usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts/
sudo cp /home/xbmc/arial.ttf arial.ttf
hope this helps.
my arial.ttf 14478524 byte use it from old xbox time....
