Scrambled playlisy on some skins

Can anybody tell me why I have scrambled playlist on some skins.
That means the playlist consists of unreadable characters, it looks like chinese to me, but it happens not on every skin.

The skinner has specified a font that dosn't exist on your system, but may have existed on his, or he has mis typed the font name in the pledit.txt file.

Your windows installation is trying to match it to the nearest it can find and failing.

Open up the .wsz skin archive, find the pledit.txt file, open it up in notepad or something, edit the line that looks like this.....

Font=Comic Sans MS

And replace the font name with one that lives on your system, resave and reload the skin.

or ask the author of the skin for the font, or try to find it yourself on one of the millions of font sites.

Usually when a good skinner uses an ucommon font he/she bundles it in the .wsz.
