Don’t suppose you could do a WMP skin for the taskbar or know of one? If I use the WMP in the taskbar it messes up the skin.

Hi M4L1K,

I’m guessing you are the person that also emailed me about using the font to display French? You can try to set you language to English to verify if something is wrong with the font file.

It looks like the author of the font may have placed some characters in the wrong place though. If I can get permission I will modify the font.

Another option is to use the “Volter (Goldfish)” font which is very similar.

Sit tight my friend.

One of the best theme i’ve seen ! Congratulations

I have a problem with fonts.
I did as you said in the FAQ, but no way :/
There are special chars such as ÿ Ê Û … for apostrophes, before colon “:”, for spaces… That shows it especially for the Alt (When you stay on a file to see more information), and in the details mod for folders (there are these chars on numbers).

Please Help me I’m gettting mad

@Randa

It looks as if you have windowblinds overriding the fonts defined in the theme. You need to try the following:

Open up the Windows display properties (right click on the desktop and select ‘Properties’)
Select the ‘Appearance’ tab and click the ‘Advanced’ button towards the bottom
A new dialog box will open. Under the ‘Font Overrides’ heading click ‘Reset titlebar font’
Change the ‘All skin fonts to be replaced by’ drop down menu to ‘Leave skin fonts alone’

If that didn’t fix the problem, double check if you have ‘HaxrCorp’ and ‘Kroeger’ font in ‘C:\Windows\Fonts’. If not then copy them from ‘your-drive:\your-path-to-windowblinds\Prototype’ to that directory.

Thanks, and I’m glad you like the skin!
