Installing new Fonts
#1
I was playing around with some of the code (like I said in another post I am no where close to an expert) though I am a fan of my own custimization. If I wanted to redo a font, or add a new font. How would I go about installing a font into Alaska? Thanks for your help

Put the xxxx.ttf font you want to use in the fonts folder...

Find what you want to change:
Quote:<control type="label"><!-- Episode Seasons -->
<posx>90</posx>
<posy>455</posy>
<width>570</width>
<height>50</height>
<aligny>center</aligny>
<font>Font_TVShow</font>
<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
<label>$INFO[ListItem.Season]</label>
<visible>Control.IsVisible(50) + Container.Content(episodes)</visible>
</control>

Find the bolded part in Font.xml
Quote:<font>
<name>Font_TVShow</name>
<filename>alaska_light_nocaps.ttf</filename>
<size>25</size>
<linespacing>1</linespacing>
</font>
Then copy that block of code, if you overwrite it will change it for probably 70 other spots that use Font_TVShow, to:

Quote:<font>
<name>myanek05</name>
<filename>xxxx.ttf</filename>
<size>25</size>
<linespacing>1</linespacing>
</font>

Then go back to the section you wanted changed and replace <font>Font_TVShow</font> to <font>myanek05</font>

I had an issue when I first started using alaska where the font used for the home page and the paused on the screen where cut off so I wanted to change the font. The easy solution I used involving the fonts was to find a new font, delete the one that was being used and rename the new one to the same .ttf as the old one then just simply replace it. Its a quick and dirty fix if that helps or you can use the other method to change it on a more particular scale.
