Not friendly

Paul,

Because they probably don't look as good. Instead of being such an asshole, why don't you make some fonts yourself so that they can be included in Aeon.

Once you do that, problem solved.

where can this information be found please

It's something to do with them not being allowed on GitHub.

cheers. have always been curious about it

I am a programmer and while doing the research on how to get things up and running I was surprised to see how complicated it appears to be to work with the Aeon skin.

PLEASE don't take this the wrong way as i am just saying this to add a bit of
levity here. I used to be a programmer in another life but i always prefered
General IT. I used to work at a few software houses.

Most (not all) programmers i worked with didn't know shit about computers in the same
sense as when you talk about people being "street smart". They were geniuses
at what they did but ask them to do a simple task in the general os or something out
of their field of expertise and it was funny to see.

One guy burnt 12 copies of a patch to be sent to a customer while trying to
make the volume label be all CAPS. So finally they call the IT department and
i go there and Enables the option to Allow all Uppercase filenames in Windows
explorer's view settings. Lo and behold, the 1st CD he burnt was just fine!

To this day, i get people coming to me with their PCs saying something like :
"My cousin is a programmer and he tried to fix it but it's worse now. I don't
think anything can be done."

I chuckle and fix their problem.

The fact is Aeon is probably the most difficult skin to get working fully but at the end of the day there is a very detailed step by step guide/faq in the stickies and pretty much any other question can be answered by doing a couple of searches on this forum.

While I agree that it is very annoying that the fonts have to be downloaded separately the reason for this has been explained many many times.

At this point its getting silly with people complaining still about how things are done and how complicated it is to set up. If you're not happy with it or dont have the patience to get it working then use another skin.

The fonts are not included with the AEON source because they are not free fonts (you have to buy them) and it is against github policy to upload that sort of thing to their servers

So why the insults? I did not insult you or anybody else, its just typical of you xbmc devs to attack or insult anybody who does not agree with you!!!

Can't say i blame them as they won't want a lawsuit for stolen fonts which all us aeon users are using..... now i wait to get flamed by the devs again....

I don't fix friends PC's anymore, when they ask about something I just give em a blank stare and tell them to Google it.
