Can users change OSMC Fonts?

Help and Support
1

I am using OSMC Alphas 4 on raspberry pi Model B+. I love the skin of OSMC. However, some of my add ons require Arial Based Font to display Traditional Chinese characters while OSMC forbid users to change the fonts.

Is there any means to bypass the limitation? And Will OSMC support Traditional Chinese?

Thank you very much.

I don’t think we forbid any font changes.

At the moment I don’t think users can change the font in the OSMC skin. Very frustrating for international users.

1 connect to you osmc in ssh
2 go in your skin folder, default is /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.osmc
3 open file Font.xml in folder 16x9
4 append the following text to specify a new fontset:


XLarge
arialuni.ttf
0.95
0.94
48

5 replace arialuni.ttf by your font but this one looks like Arial and supports asian characters.

Good luck!

Gee, the automatic correction removed all XML anchors!
So just copy the Arial or default fontset and replace Arial.ttf by arialumi.ttf

Well it is not automatic correction but HTML interpretation. Use the “preformatted” button from the mean to protect your format.

Or use paste.osmc.io
