sudo mv DejaVuSans.ttf DejaVuSans-original.ttf
sudo mv arial.ttf arial-original.ttf


# New references
sudo ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/chinese/DejaVuSans_unicode.ttf DejaVuSans.ttf
sudo 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
