Movie Titles (Some not All) in Foreign Language In Kodi with Kodi Next Gen

I've been working with a clean install of Kodi on my tablet with the Emby for Kodi Next Gen plugin. Overall I am seeing positive results. It's a 'pilot' for my Windows and TV kodi installs.

But as I scroll in Kodi with the Shift View with the Estuary Mod V2 Omega skin, all the titles below the thumbnails are in a fancy font, with some being in a foreign language.

Like "New Frontier" being Nuovie Frontiere or "My Dad is Scrooge" being Etne tierische Welhnachtsgeschichte.  Ironically, the font types seem to match up with the font in the thumbnail of the movie or attempt to.

The font's both in Emby and my normal Kodi installation (without the plugin, but the same skin) do not have this issue. In both of the latter, the fonts are not artistic in anyway, just arial or something like that. So I am not sure where it is being introduced. The titles are somewhat attractive, but I would prefer they would be in all English.

This is not a font, it's an artwork (picture) and I assume it's coming from Emby server.

Please check the images on the server for the affected movies. I think it's the banner.

Thank you, it turned out with your suggestion to be the logo.jpg's. Emby is not displaying them (for some reason), but Kodi does. Working on the forum to find out what the settings are that turn them on and off. Thank you again.

Not displaying them where? 

Logo (and clearlogo) artwork types are displayed on detail page either as a logo (in the header) or a title (instead of plain text), according user preferences. Additionally, you can switch library view to Logo instead of Primary (typical/default) or any other supported image type.
