SHORT: Could someone make 4:3 fonts for Rapier?

LONG:
Hi, I am still using XBMC with an old Xbox and 16:9 TV. Problem in that is, most themes are made for HD nowadays and lot of the text is unreadable. Some themes, like Transparency! come with 4:3 fonts by default, and I can enjoy the theme, with only minor flaws in the design due to the different font. My favorite skin currently is Rapier which does not come with SD fonts. I would like that the developers added them to the skin, I am fine with even any person making me the font I can use himself, as long as it works. So, please, anybody who offers me 4:3 fonts for download earns a great thank you from me, I am not educated enough to make the configurations myself.

Thank you in advance!

ditto this.. Yes so many skins have such small fonts that is hard to read on a SD TV. Is there a way to manually add fonts?

You can add new fonts by editing and adding some files. You can also change the Font.xml <size></size> statements to have a bigger value to get a bigger font.

Still, no developer or another user has said anything to this?

I have copied and pasted the Font.xml file I use on my 4:3 SDTV. While it is not perfect it certainly make this theme much better on 4:3. I apologize for such a long post but I apparently cannot add attachments. Wink

Couldn't you use the CODE-tag instead of making that long post? It's really annoying to scroll through.
