If your music library is not limited to only songs whose tags are in English (standard char set will be more specific), you are facing trouble in displaying Unicode characters in aTunes. First of all to display the characters you need fonts installed on your System. If you are using Windows Vista/7, you have got them installed already. For earlier Windows versions you need to install them separately. The fonts can be installed by going to
Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages-tab > tick install files for east-Asian-languages.
You can also choose to install files for right-left languages if you wish so. (Note: Installation will require you to have Windows XP Professional CD)
Now that you have installed the fonts or they were already there, follow these steps in aTunes:
Edit > Preferences > General-tab > tick “Use Default Font”
You are done! Now aTunes will use OS default fonts to render the characters.
This setting will only change fonts for the in-window-text. The title-bar of the open window will still not display proper characters. I am still looking for some easy fix.
Note that if you have been using for a long time then it will take time to get adjusted with the new look (There is so much text and information everywhere in the window!!). Just change the skin, and the font-change will not be so apparent.
