== Adding Xine subtitle fonts. ==

 
If your subtitles are unreadable, chances are you are missing some fonts in your xine-fonts directory. In LMCE, due to the fact that xine is embedded inside LMCE, you need to add the fonts to a differant directory then usuall.

Here's how you do it

''' Note that the fonts you add need to be "xine-fonts"'''

* Here is the Link to the Xine page for more information regarding xine-fonts: http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#SUPPORTEDFONTS

===Regular Xine Player===
The on accessed from the KDE-Desktop, put the fonts in: 
  /usr/share/xine/libxine1/fonts 
Then under options change the font name to the one you just installed and don't forget to set the correct encoding.

===LinuxMCE Embedded Xine===
The one accessed via Orbiter, put the fonts in: 

 /opt/libxine/share/xine/libxine1/fonts

Then edit /etc/pluto/xine.conf as follows:

 ¨#subtitles.separate.font:sans¨ change to: 
 ¨subtitles.separate.font:<name of the installed font>¨

 ¨#subtitles.separate.src_encoding:iso-8859-1¨ change to: 
 ¨subtitles.separate.src_encoding:<the correct encoding>¨
