I would really, really like to see an option to use the small font for the info displays, so they take up the least amount of screen space.

My new small font is much, much more readable than the older one even though it's pretty much the same size, so seeing info is really easy.

Do you have a screen grab or a photo of your font? I'm no typographer myself, but I can appreciate a good design; I'm particularly keen to see how you get the accented letters to look good.

I didn't bother with the accented characters, nor with lowercase. At that bit size lowercase is pointless.

Here's an image:

In many languages, that's akin to saying ``I didn't bother with the vowels.''

Fortunately, I speak English and since the font is for me and me alone, I could care less what the rest of the world thinks!

Ah, that's why you attached a screenshot of a song with a German name on your empeg...
