You just have to run the fonts .exe file and it will automatically install without even bothering you. If you like it manual or if for some reason it doesn't work for you, you can always extract the fonts to a folder of your liking and copy (install) them to fonts system folder. It looks really good with these fonts.

First I just want to thank dawxxx666 for this awsome config! Awsome work!

I have some small problems though.

Firstly I can't get the pictures of the artists showing. I have all of mine in E:\Mina dokument\Mina bilder\Artister

Which code should I replace with what?

Secondly I have some small problems with the albumart for two of my albums.

I have all albumarts saved in E:\Min musik\*artist*\*album*\*artist* - *album*.jpg and this works for all except two of my albums.

For these two I get two pictures with very low resolution in the playlist view and in the cover art viewer. If I click on the cover in the cover art viewer though I can get the picture I have saved in the folder showing but nothing changes in the playlist view.

Any ideas?

You probably don't listen to a lot of unknown stuff then. But anyway, There's gotta be a way to fix that. It is a big problem

Hmm. Can you write components? Because I can't, and I don't think that what you want is possible at this moment. My advice for you:

1. You can turn off aspect ratio

2. Try to download covers in normal (500x500) resolution

And don't ask me, try to contact with album art panel's author.

hmmm all my covers is 500x500

& i dont have any problems finding covers

If all else fails use photoshop or some similar software to edit the cover to the proper size. There are healing brushes and other tools that can be used to make the up for the missing bits. Or just crop the image to the proper aspect ratio.

Have you tried using AlbumArt Downloader to find your covers. For the most part, I've had no problem finding covers at least 500x500 in size

My foobar won't display unicode characters (I'm trying Korean right now) but it does work. the unicode characters from foobar shows in the MSN "now playing" function and on last.fm. but on the foobar window it will show simply as "squares"

I've tried "settings" on the playlist pannels and changed fonts but didn't work. I also tried going to preferences > display > default user interface but it says it is already using one and I can't change it.

All my other programs such as Winamp, Windows Media Player and MSN can display unicode characters so it means I do have it installed.

I really think it has something to do with the font but where exactly do I change it and which one should I use?

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
