- Implemented support for Freetype fonts (based on a patch from Alexander Riedel). The font names and sizes can be adjusted in the "Setup/OSD" menu. Note that VDR now requires freetype fonts to be installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype.
In my system there is no /usr/share/fonts/truetype, but the TTF fonts reside in other subdirectories under /usr/share/fonts.

I'd use some free-as-in-freedom font (Vera?) by default, that are more likely installed in systems.
Alternatively, you could use the fontconfig library [1] for managing fonts. This would also allow using using the system default fonts via aliases like 'sans-serif' etc, and using a font list instead of having to manually write the font filename via OSD.
You can get a quick idea from looking at the patch which added fontconfig support for mplayer [2], though of course you should look in fontconfig documentation instead of copying conventions from mplayer :)
