Wink  "Next Tracks" can't read the font properly Post: #1
Hi there,
I'm having a bit of a trouble with Hebrew text, after trying to change font.xml, adding other fonts. and now using the korean font which support hebrew greatly.
the only problem left is within the "now playing" layout

Most probably the font you added does not include the Hebrew characters. Those odd symbols look like the ones BebasNeue.ttf (main menu fonts) shows when it can't find the appropriate characters, but if there was a problem with that font, you'd have noticed it on the main menu as well.

gave it another chance, and found that replacing the current skin font with Arial unicode MS \ DejaVuSansCondensed (by renaming) works just fine. DejaVuSans gives best results (condensed), but not the best looking for Aeon NOX.

bottom line: PROBLEM SOLVED.

didn't find any better fonts to work with, it'll be nice to add the font to your next skin update, also changing the existing one require some size adjustments.
