Hi All! Sorry, i have been late with patch. First, this is old patch updated to 1.3.27. New patch is still in developing. Probably many already faced a problem of simultaneous display of various international letters in vdr. For example it is impossible to use simultaneously both Russian and German letters. 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. You should also convert names of channels in channels.conf in UTF-8. Pleasant viewings!!! Changelog: o You can use fixed size fonts. All freetype2 supported fonts. o Small bug fixes. o version with enAIO patch is also providet. o some cosmetic changes o update to 1.3.27 -- Alexander Riedel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
