Night - UNICODE Support

Totally redid all Night Fonts and switched to unicode fonts. Well, all except Home screen, as I haven't been able to find a thin unicode font comparable yet...Also caught a bunch of minor positioning errors.

Some sections the switch actually looks better, some are not as good. In the end this will probably turn into the main Night branch but as of now git is unchanged...

Probably missed a few things but switching fonts after a skin has been out for awhile is a big task, let me know if you catch anything

If works in Confluence/PM3 works then yes...

Man I think it's a great job, but the "probably" is killing me!!! I will update my MOD so you better make it the main branch... Wink

Think after my next update this will take me one or two days if I don't encounter any problems.

I didn't spend a week redoing the whole skin for nothing, so I might as well say this will be default Night unless this thread gets filled up hundreds of "This sucks it ruins the skin" posts.

But from my eyes I'd say it's an improvement, and a good amount of the windows you hardly notice.

based on the screenshots i don't see any problems with the new fonts. go for it.

is there a way to make movie titles all capitalized again on the posters view? I like seeing titles in caps.

Used it last night. My initial reaction was the text seemed squished and spread out - but as I used it, I started to really like it. Almost clearer and easier on the eyes. Good work as usual, and thanks for all the time you've put into this!
