I've got Estouchy set up on a new Kodi 17.1 RPI3 build, which uses a HD touchscreen. Whilst the OS manages the touchscreen with no problem, Kodi does not. Where do I look to configure it to run properly. The google is full of conflicting stuff. Chee...

KODI allows the selection of only two fonts for subtitles. "Arial.ttf" and "Teletext.tt". Obviously nobody uses "Teletext" because it looks like crap. I don’t even know why developers even put that in there. So we are left with "Arial.ttf".

Call me picky, but I really hate the way this specific version of "Arial" looks in Greek, because in Greek it is not really "Arial"! Some characters are not simplified, and are curvy (like ν and λ) and kind of calligraphic. Also the characters with accents don't look good. This is weird (to me anyway) and will make my reading not to flow naturally during a movie.

I looked into this, and I found that in order to add a different font in android, you have to find the folder where the fonts are stored and stick a different .ttf file in there. The folder path (if I’m not mistaken) is: Device/data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/cache/assets/media/Fonts

Then I realized this path is not accessible unless your android device is rooted! (wtf).

I happen to have a rooted device; So I added the typical MS office "Arial" font, renamed it "Arial2", it appeared in KODI settings, I chose it and voila! Simplified "Arial" style characters in Greek looking great! Now this font will often disappear, when device memory is cleared, or when KODI updates, and I will have to re-add it. I also have another unrooted device, in which I cannot do this, so I’m stuck with a font I don’t like.

So my question is: For something so essential in video playback, like subtitles, why does KODI only offers the choice of two crappy fonts, and makes it so difficult to choose a different font? Wouldn't something like "add more" in fonts' options make sense?

I am using OpenELEC on a Pi3 and it's been a real winner the past year. Today I upgraded from OpenELEC 7.0.1/Kodi16.1 to OpenELEC 8.0.0/Kodi17.1. The upgrade actually went forward without any issues, however there are 2 show-stopper issues for me follo...
