[mythtv] To Robertm re Arclight Fonts

[Yianni Vidalis]

I made a small typing mistake in my previous message, I meant that mythtv uses the fonts under /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Arclight.

MythTV load the font under /usr/share/mythtv/Arclight. If I remove or rename it, it looks for it under /usr/share/fonts (I had it there also). If I remove that, too, it uses Arial:

In the latter case, every entry on the menu is in Arial, even "Zone Minder"

It IS strange, isn't it?

The trick of using openoffice first didn't work, either. 

Thanks, 

Yianni.
