Adam, you are right!

I modified share/skins/osd/base.fxd, change Vera/VeraBd to odosung.ttc,
the translated shutdown messages were displayed correctly.

But, here's what puzzling me:
I've always defined "OSD_FORCE_FONTNAME" in local_conf.py,
is this not enough to cover all OSD dialogs?

Why I ask the above question?
Before modifying the "base.fxd", I can read all i10n messages
except the shutdown dialog.

Thanks to your quick answer, and
thanks to awesome Freevo!
