I don't know how long this has been unchecked on my version of Winamp but when the "Allow use of bitmap fonts that have not been mapped"
is checked in the preferences/modern skins/font rendering section I can't believe how much quicker my modern skins are working now.

Try it.
Check it if unchecked.

Can someone please explain exactly what is happening here with this little button? What does it do etc...much appreciated.

I noticed a huge load-time delay in 5.54x as compared to 5.53. May be its attributed to this.

Theuniquetiger,
Well I tell you.
The difference is VERY noticeable so much so that I am now using a modern skin (Relax ClassicPro) full time for the first time...

Hope it helps Zackbuffo
