my foobar2000 is 0.9.4.2
FofR configuration is 0.6

I added a feature that using different font of different genre.
Simply speaking, if genre is JPOP , japanese font will be used to display tag info.
if genre is CPOP , chinese font will be used and so do KPOP (korean song)

Here is my work I did.

I added global varaible in playlist view
$set_global(font_zh,Microsoft JhengHei)
$set_global(font_kr,Malgun Gothic)
$set_global(font_jp,Meiryo)



Under Panel UI, 'group by' and 'item display', I added
$puts(font_type,Microsoft Sans Serif)
$ifgreater($strstr(%genre%,CPOP),0,$puts(font,$get_global(font_zh)),)
$ifgreater($strstr(%genre%,JPOP),0,$puts(font,$get_global(font_jp)),)
$ifgreater($strstr(%genre%,KPOP),0,$puts(font,$get_global(font_kr)),)




Everything got fine. however when I highlight a track or highlight a album all text got blank
(This problem only occur on JPOP songs, CPOP, KPOP, EPOP has no such problem)

Here is JPOP



Here is KPOP


Here is CPOP


What are the settings I was missed or misconfigured ?

In SCPL, if the font used is too tall to fit in the row, it does not draw it.
Apparently, your japanese font is too tall, and thus nothing is drawn.

you may want to change your code to something like this:

you said that "... font used is tool tall to fit in the row ....". Is that mean the font height is too tall to fit in the wor height ? If this is the case, no matter I increase the row height to larger in SCPL, the selected track or album of JPOP still showing blank.

Like I set the row height to 28. I guess it should be tall enough to hold selecte japanese font height


However the out come is the selected track still got blank

wow, you sure are using an old version of PanelsUI.

Update to the most recent and see if problems persist.

my panel ui is version 0.8.1 beta (mar 15 2007)

I knew from FofR blog and said that panel ui 0.9 and 0.10 is not compatible with FofR configuration 0.6 and upgrade to 0.7 is necessary.

I'm not sure does FofR configuration 0.7 compatible with panelui 0.12 and 0.11

it is.

I just upgraded FotR configuration to 0.7 and PanelsUI to 0.12


Without adding statement
$puts(fontSizeSelected,8) but just increasing the row height , for example 28 in



The selected track or album of japanese songs still showing blank. You may see that the row height is increased and should tall enough to fit for japanese font.

maybe the japanese font doesn't have a bold typeface? (since selection text is bolded)

if I put $puts(fontSizeSelected,8) this after the line
$ifgreater($strstr(%genre%,JPOP),0,$puts(font,$get_global(font_jp))

the selection text of japanese songs are shown. Therefore I don't think it is the problem of missing bold typeface.


ps FotR configuration by defaut set variable fontSizeSelected to 9

So you didn't try my original suggestion, but it does work?

Your solution works.

The point is , the default FotR configuration font size is a bit small for me and i want to larger the font size a bit.
That's why I increased the row height but didn't work.

I guess there may some other settings control the display of the text but not just simply increase the row height.

Why do I say that because I made a test.
I changed the default variable IDfontSize (global non selected font size) from 8 to 10 and increase the row height to 20. All songs (cpop, kpop, kpop, epop) text are blank.

well, you'll find your answer somewhere in this line of code:


But honestly, that's too many nonsensical variables for me to try to break down.
You'd be better off asking FofR at his forum.

never mind. you help me alot actually. I'll ask the arthour.

Make sure you change $get(rowheight) to the new height.
It's a redundant variable because it could just be %_height%. I need to fix that for the next release.

Look for this:
// Row Height of SCPL Item Display
$puts(rowheight,17)

and change it to:
// Row Height of SCPL Item Display
$puts(rowheight,%_height%)

many thanks, FofR.
