Thanks for the tip. I switched skins and all is now well. Big Grin

**Jezz_X** · 2006-11-18 07:30

for the people who get no fonts in the skins it only supports truetype fonts not the xpr ones (xbmc will be dropping xpr fonts soon anyway) and then they have to be set to unicode true
if your trying to get mc360 to run you will need to open up the font.xml files and change the lines like this for the truetype fonts

Quote:<fontset id="TeamBlackbolt" unicode="true">

then it should load fonts.
Also the build in this thread has problems with the mc30 carbon themes so don't use them or it will crash its to do with how xbmctex compresses the xpr ( I think jmarshall has fixed this in the svn allready )

**jmarshall** · 2006-11-18 08:25

Those of you who are getting crashes after the splash: It's likely because your graphics card doesn't support non-power of 2 textures.

I believe that elupus has fixed this in his own codebase and so a fix in SVN should not be far away.

And yes, the fix for the carbon themes is already in SVN.

when it is said to open font.xml and make sure the font id tag says:

Code:

<fontset id="TeamBlackbolt" unicode="true">

is there anything else aside from restarting that needs to be done?

my font.xml page looks as follows:

Code:

<fonts>

    <fontset id="Default">

        <font>

            <name>font10</name>

            <filename>common-font10.xpr</filename>

make sure you do it for the resolution that you actually use each dir pal pal16x9 nsc ntsc16x9 720p and 1080 all have there own font.xml files in them

**Jezz_X** · 2006-11-18 10:59

Ok anyone trying to use mc360 in it just use these font xmls also if you use the teamblackbolt font on the xbox these are newer and greatly improved size and should look heaps better

Jezz_X,

thanks buddy - i updated the ntsc-specific font.xml file and it worked like a charm. Smile

SleepyP · 2006-11-18 11:59

yo. My issues were due to incorrect mapping of my drive letters (what a surprise). It now runs correctly and I can get a full debug log output, as well as sound output. However, the video remains black. JMarshall, would a debug log prove interesting for this, or is it safe to assume my video card is too ghetto?

**jmarshall** · 2006-11-18 12:27

Pretty sure that it's the same issue that elupus had. debug log wouldn't hurt ofcourse.

Cheers,
Jonathan
