Hi, 1/ I've fixed a few annoying typos in russian translation of xmms (CVS). You can grab it from http://home.onego.ru/~rmn/xmms/ru.po.bz2 2/ Developers, please, don't disregard the following problem: There are incorrect default font settings in xmms (for example, for russians). Over the last several years. :/ So I want to suggest simple solution. 2a/ There are "hardwired" -adobe-helvetica-* font without russian glyphs so it's better to use -*-helvetica-* 2b/ XMMS doesn't uses charsets by default and users (especially russians :) couldn't see their KOI8-R/CP1251/etc. characters in playlist and in scrolling bar. They see only ruined iso8859-*. So I think it's better to check both the 'Use fontsets' and the 'Use X Font' checkbox by default in Prefs->Fonts 2c/ I think that current default sizes of playlist's and mainwin's fonts are small and unreadable (I don't wear glasses :-) There are helvetica 10 and 8 point. I've tried using xfontsel to find an optimal font size of helvetica iso8859-* and koi8-* and I think that 14 point is the best (both for mainwin and for playlist). All another helvetica sizes (8-13) look really bad.
