Re: imonlcd German Umlauts XBMC

Hi Markus,

I already tried to change the server/driver/imonlcd_font.h (before 
recompiling and reinstalling), but it had no effect. Maybe I made a 
mistake. Here a example:

this is the row 252 of this file

{ {0x00, 0x3c, 0x82, 0x02, 0x84, 0x3e } }, // 252 \u00fc ü u diaeresis

and this is row 245 of this file

{ {0x00, 0x5c, 0xa2, 0x62, 0x9c, 0x00 } }, // 245 \u00f5 õ o tilde

evertime the display should show a "ü" it shows a õ

i tried to switch the rows, i tried to make a change the õ to a ü in row 
245 an vice versa in row 252.

any ideas what elese can be tried?

@Yura As far as i can tell, the imonlcd_font.h implements the iso 
8859-15. So the only chance is to make my own font. But do you think 
that would have an effect, when changing the imonlcd_font.h didn´t have. 
I only ask, because I never did this before, and I think that could be a 
lot of work.

Thx for the answers, great to have a community like this
