Well, it's a real pitty with the various systems putting files at random places. Can't there be a *standard* for things like this? > + strcpy(FontOsd, "arialbd.ttf"); > + strcpy(FontSml, "arial.ttf"); > + strcpy(FontFix, "courbd.ttf"); > > I'd use some free-as-in-freedom font (Vera?) by default, that are more > likely installed in systems. Those were the ones suggested in Alexander Riedel's original patch. Which ones would you suggest? > Alternatively, you could use the fontconfig library [1] for managing > fonts.

You don't have to manually write the font name. This is a list of strings that contains all the file names found in /usr/share/fonts/truetype (or wherever your system my have these files - I guess this will have to become a compile-time switch - <sigh>). Just use the Left/Right keys to navigate through it. > You can get a quick idea from looking at the patch which added > fontconfig support for mplayer [2], though of course you should look in > fontconfig documentation instead of copying conventions from mplayer :) > > [1] http://fontconfig.org/ > [2] > http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2003-November/022218.html I'd like to keep it simple. There's a directory with font file names and these will be offered in Setup/OSD.
