Installation guide
0. Stop your KODI application
1. Download Arial unicode ; you should have a '20090701.rar' archive
2. Copy the archive on your media center
3. Run the following commands
# TODO add rar file on daxiongmao.eu
unrar e 20090701.rar
wget http://trac.kodi.tv/attachment/ticket/6397/DejaVuSans%2BDriodSansFallback.ttf
# Copy fonts to system
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/chinese
sudo cp arialuni.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/chinese/
sudo cp DejaVuSans+DriodSansFallback.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/chinese/DejaVuSans_unicode.ttf
# Copy fonts to KODI
cp arialuni.ttf /usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts/
cp DejaVuSans+DriodSansFallback.ttf /usr/share/xbmc/media/Fonts/DejaVuSans_unicode.ttf
# Copy fonts to your current skin (default skin = confluence)
cp arialuni.ttf /usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/
cp DejaVuSans+DriodSansFallback.ttf /usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/DejaVuSans_unicode.ttf
4. Replace old Arial and Deja-Vu by Unicode versions
cd /usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/
# Adjust old references
mv DejaVuSans.ttf DejaVuSans-original.ttf
mv arial.ttf arial-original.ttf
# New references
ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/chinese/DejaVuSans_unicode.ttf DejaVuSans.ttf
ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/chinese/arialuni.ttf arial.ttf
5. Restart KODI
- Go to KODI >> Home >> System >> Settings >> Appearance >> Skin >> Fonts
- Click the up/down arrow to change the setting to “Arial based”;
Bugs fixes
- Don't forget to restart KODI to take on your changes!
- Chinese characters do not appear! Then you should override DejaVuSans.ttf by arialuni.ttf
cd /usr/share/xbmc/addons/skin.confluence/fonts/
# Remove previous reference
rm DejaVuSans.ttf DejaVuSans-original.ttf
# Override
ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/chinese/arialuni.ttf DejaVuSans.ttf
