Ahh, there we go, I changed the font to Meiryo (A font designed to improve readability for asian text that comes with Windows 7 which also looks at least almost as good as Segoe UI or Calibri with roman letters)

You'd have to edit the skin yourself, you can take a look in the wiki.

Vitreous uses Calibri font for the summary in the seekbar.

The funny thing is even MM3 skins that didn't have this problem in MM3 have it, MM4 doesn't change fonts in MM3 skins, does it? Also if this is font specific, how can I change the font so this doesn't happen?

I've tested this on a few skins and it looks like a fairly common problem. Basically what the title says. All the screenshots below are a ∞ symbol

Image the player with the default Vitreous skin looking flattened

Image that entry in my library looking normal

Image the same entry looking normal in WMP
