Default Weird smooth font randomly shows up in Winamp


So for some reason this smooth font (top picture) randomly appears in Winamp, and I can't figure out what the deal is.

I would actually like all my fonts to appear that way (the way it is in the top picture), but I dunno why it happens or how to make it happen. >.>

Any ideas?

Winamp has always had weird little quirks/bugs and that's something never seems to have been fixed despite the many, many, many versions. As to your problem, I haven't the slightest idea, sorry...

I think when the song Artist+title is beyond a certain length it changes the font to make it fit better. I've noticed that too over the years.

I get the same thing on mine on occasion... the only time I see that happen is with custom skins...







Thanks HL and Corsair!

I figured it out!
It's cuz on Blue Oyster Cult its got a ø, which is a non-normal character.
I tested it by putting a ø on a different song that has a normal font and it did the same thing.

woo for solving!


also figured out how to set it to always do that.
Preferences>Skins>Modern Skins>Font Rendering>
and for "font mapper" un-check the box that says "Keep Bitmap font in strings that contain only 7-bit characters"
