What the F? - K0D1User1138 - 2024-05-17

Working on moving my Kodi clients forward to V20/21 and noticed an issue with plot and tagline text in my custom skin. Certain combinations of letters starting with F product some weird icons instead. FF is a subscript 9, Fi is is a diamond. of also shows the subscript 9 for the F. This does not appear to happen in the default skin. Any ideas what's going on?

These are the first 2 I've noticed. In the NFO all the text is correct, as well a in Jellyfin.

Also found another issue (not skin related) where one of my TV shows will not scrape despite local NFO files.

I just edited a plot with a bunch of F words and got this.

Looks like FI and FF are the issue. Haven't noticed any others like this so far.

Skin code?

Font - OpenSans-Regular

Worked fine since Kodi 12.

I have not. Just noticed this issue and thought I was going insane seeing things. What would suddenly cause a font issue in the skin?

I tried Arial instead and it doesn't cause these weird symbol issues but wow it doesn't look nice to the eye.

Side note - did something change in the keymaps to allow skin refreshing? MY previous keymap doesn't work either.

Still working for me using:

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<keymap>

	<global>

		<keyboard>

			<F3>Skin.ToggleSetting(DebugImages)</F3>

			<F5>ReloadSkin()</F5>

			<F6>Skin.ToggleSetting(DebugGrid)</F6>

			<F7>Skin.ToggleSetting(DebugInfo)</F7>

			<F8>Skin.ToggleDebug</F8>

		</keyboard>

	</global>

</keymap>

Thanks for that info. All the strings have changed at some point from what I'd used for years.

Any clue what is happening with the font I use? Where the odd symbols are coming from?

RE: What the F? - K0D1User1138 - 2024-05-17

I played around with the fonts a bit and it does seem to be an issue with the specific font I had in the skin. I downloaded another version of the same font and it worked fine, however it also looked slightly different. Side-by-side I like the original more, but for some reason it is F'ed up!
