Change font size on EPG, Recording List, and Program Description
#1
A week ago, I posted a nice write-up on how to install the Series XML files on OpenELEC. I'm working on a more comprehensive guide to setting up XBMC as a front-end for Windows Media Center, and I've come across an issue upon which I need just a little help.

I know that we can change the font size on any items using in XBMC by changing the entries in the fonts.xml file. However, there are quite a few to choose from in there. Can anyone either tell me or tell me how to determine (aside from trial and error) which fonts listed there will change the:

1. EPG Font
2. Recordings List Font
3. Program Description Font (that appears to the right of the Recordings List)

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know, but I think you might have better luck posting this in the 'skin help and support forum'. Looking forward to hearing what you find out.

I think if you go to the skinners forum there is a pinned thread with a little addon that can help identify items on a window. I think the file you need to look at is ViewsPVR.xml.

Well, by trial and error I figured it out:

in

Font.xml

Look through the file. To change the size of the description of the show in the recordings menu and the titles in the EPG, change the <size> parameter from 17 to whatever you want (I chose 19):

<fontset id="Default" idloc="31390" unicode="true">
<!-- Normal Fonts -->
<font>
<name>font12</name>
<filename>Roboto-Regular.ttf</filename>
<size>17</size>
</font>

To change the size of the description of the show in the recordings menu and the titles in the EPG, change the <size> parameter from 20 to whatever you want (I chose 22) in this set:

<font>
<name>font13</name>
<filename>Roboto-Regular.ttf</filename>
<size>20</size>
</font>

Note that these entries appear several times in this file, but I only had to change the very first appearance of them to have the desired effect.
