Hi Chris,
Is there any way to control to size of the 'new, larger fonts' that are used for the credit dispaly and the selection display or are they set automatically based on the resolution?
PS - Nice job on this release, it seems to have fixed a number of problems.

They are set automatically based on the size of the displays. Each display has a setting for height in pixels (relative to the skin background) and a number of lines. Once the displays have been rescaled and rotated, the true height is divided by the number of lines and the next smallest font is used. So if you need a larger font, reduce the number of lines in a display or increase the height of the display. The larger fonts were added because at resolutions over 1024x768, the largest font was already in use and the gaps between lines would just get bigger. There used to be four sizes of dot-matrix fonts available; now there are six.
With the bigger fonts now available, at least one of the skins will need tinkering to look right.
The fixed fonts are necessary for the dot-matrix displays, as dot matrix fonts look horrible when auto scaled. It's a ton of work to add a new dot-matrix font, though, because they're created by hand. I've considered allowing regular TrueType fonts in the displays, but that's a low priority right now.

Seems to work fine on a p120 laptop under win98se with 32mb ram although the pointer wont work in the software (not earlly a problem as I will sort out an external keypad for it soon.
Does this support mps3's locatch on a different machine (I assume as long as the path is correct it will?)

There's a fix for that; get http://webpages.charter.net/celamantia/jukebox/alleg41.dll and put it in the jukebox directory. Or disable the mouse in jukebox.ini if you're not using it.

If the remote directory is mapped to a drive letter it will, but it does not support UNC paths. The entire MP3 is loaded before its played, though, so if you have a slow network you may have a delay between songs.
