MM is an excellent program, but it has one, only one, but rather
big drawback that prevents me from investing more time&money
in it.
I mean, the support for Greek fonts.
I have WinXP, so I have been able to fully use Greek in very many
other programs that previously had only limited support for Greek,
so I am pretty confident that the problem is not due to my side. Yes,
I have read another fellow Greek's claim (in this forum) that the
problem can be solved by tinkering with the registry, but I agree
with the reply given by another Greek, namely that this is not necessary
in XP.
Please note that MM *does* support Greek partially. I mean, when I use
tags in Greek I am able to see them correctly at the "Song properties" screen (the one you get pressing Shift-Enter) and I am also able to use
Greek in searches. **Alas, in the main menu this same Greek text appears in "Chinese", and here is the cause of my frustration**
Note that other tag-editing programs do not have any problem
whatsoever with Greek tags, displaying them correctly in all instances. However, these programs don't have very many features of MM.
Another, non-Greek but related, problem: I have some German songs, and I remarked that MM was reporting as "Dead Links" all the songs whose title contained special German characters (like umlauts). The song was there, obviously. I was able to play the song using, say, WMP -but not via MM. I suspect the problem is that I have set WinXP to consider nonUnicode pages as Greek, which is the setting I want to keep. But this
prevents me from accessing any song with funny characters from within MM. Note that I have a similar problem with another program, Windows
Commander, an old version. It also cannot read any file with Umlauts etc. in its name.
Well, I was rather talkative
