changing the default font in skins

kousagi · 28th January 2001, 09:54

For some skins, my commputer doesn't have the font that's specified in the skin, so it shows some funky wingding-ish font in the playlist instead. I know i can manually go into each skin and change the font to something i have, but i was wondering if there was any way to change the default font that winamp uses when the font named in the skin isn't available. That would save me a lot of work

thanks

Just search the net and download the font, or else change it within the skin. If you go to OPTIONS -> PREFERENCES -> OPTIONS -> DISPLAY you'll find a checkbox there that says "Use bitmap font for main title display". By unchecking this box, the title of the song in the main window is displayed in the computers default font, and is independent of the font specified in the skin itself. It doesn't seem to affect the playlist window though.
