Recently moved my SB Server from my windows machine to a RPI2 running piCorPlayer. Works great!
One issue is, I have lots of songs with Chinese names. They currently show up as phonetic names in English, not the actual Chinese characters.
On Windows, I simply copy arialuni.ttf to the Graphics folder in SB server directory, restart the SB Server, and then the Chinese fonts would show up correctly on my SB Classic. This has been working fine for all these years, even with the latest nightly build.
I tried to do this for the piCorePlayer, but for some reason this is not working. I am not sure if this is a LMS issue on Linux, or unique to piCorPlayer.
On piCorePlayer, the LMS graphics folder is in
/usr/local/slimserver/Graphics
Files there are links to /tmp/tcloop/slimserver/usr/local/slimserver/Graphics/, which is a read-only FS.
I copied arialuni.ttf to /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/ttf/arialuni.ttf
Then created a link via:
ln -sf /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/ttf/arialuni.ttf /usr/local/slimserver/Graphics/arialuni.ttf
Then restarted LMS. But this is not working. I even tried removing the existing *.ttf files in Graphics folder. Still the same.
Anyone know what's going on? Does the linux/arm version of LMS support arialuni.ttf font replacement?
Thanks!
