HoangLee: why are you trying to copy the font file into the read-only filesystem when you've been told to copy it into /storage/.kodi/media/Fonts ?
Simply, there is not directory "Fonts" in /storage/.kodi/media/
I have to use find command line to search where is the font arial.ttf so I did that.
OK, fixed the missed characters in the default fonts by Window arial.ttf
Now, I am happy with libreelec -kodi . Thanks a lot.
Hi
Overide with window arial.ttf cannot fix the problem.
Decompressed the read-only kodi image by raspbian squashfs-tools:
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p8 /tmp/kodi
cd /tmp/kodi
sudo unquashfs SYSTEM # it will create a folder named squashfs-root
cd squashfs-root
# change to kodi Fonts directory
cd /tmp/kodi/usr/share/kodi/media/Fonts/
ls # it will display three fonts : arial.ttf, DejaVuSans.ttf, teletext.ttf
#overide with arrial.ttf from windows
sudo cp /mnt/nas/arial.ttf /tmp/kodi/usr/share/kodi/media/Fonts/
cd /tmp/kodi
sudo mv SYSTEM SYSTEM.bak # backup old image
sudo mksquashfs squashfs-root SYSTEM # recompress the kodi image
cd /tmp
sudo umount /tmp/kodi
sudo reboot # reboot to libreelec -kodi

Anyway can I try to fix subtittle problem? Thanks
Thanks for the guide. I have tried to overide the default "/usr/share/kodi/media/Fonts/arial.ttf" with windows arial.ttf . However, it is in a only read-only mount system.
mount -o rw,remount /usr
with error "mount: can't find /usr in /proc/mounts"
cat /procs/mounts
does not help how to solve the problem.
How to remount for read-write the mountpoint /usr/share/kodi/media/Fonts/ ? Thanks
Hello,
My Raspberry Pi 2 with Libreelec V7.0.1 (Kodi 16.1 Git:c327c53 complied May 17, 2016) displays some wrong black word subttile in white sentence. It happens about one over five string; it means 4 strings are correct and 1 string wrong. The font encoding is arial.ttf with utf-8. The subttile is external .srt
The error does not happen with english subttile.
I have tried a lot of setting in system->video->subttiles and cannot fix the problem.
