Hi All! Sorry my English. Probably all have already faced a problem of Russian names and letters in vdr. For example it is impossible to use simultaneously both Russian and German letters in names of files (for example in MPlayer plugin). I recently have put myself vdr and it at once was not pleasant to me. So I a disgrace have changed all this. As fonts all of the different sizes and styles was necessary at the same time and freetype2 library to vdr to fasten. This is only with ttf fonts tested . Later the others I shall complete. Patch it is made for the version 1.3.23 In setup.conf added some parameters for definition of fonts. For example: FontFix = courbd.ttf FontFixSize = 16 FontOsd = arialbd.ttf FontOsdSize = 16 FontSml = verdana.ttf FontSmlSize = 12 By default fonts are as FontOsd arialbd.ttf size 16, FontSml arial.ttf size 12 und FontFix courbd.ttf size 15 These files at least for the first start should lay in config directories. For each channel in channels.conf it is possible to establish the character coding, the field is added in the end every line. For example: Das Erste;ARD:198500000:I0C34D12M16B7T8G4Y0:T:27500:101:102=deu:104:0:1:8468:9985:0:ISO8859-15 By default is ISO8859-15. Possible variants are listed in: iconv --list EPG data at reception are converted in UTF-8. So on a disk all (again created) files and descriptions will be already in UTF-8. I recommend to remove a file epg.data that data were already normally filled in UTF8 Pleasant viewings!!! -- Alexander Riedel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
