Hi!

I have the last version of Amarok but this is not a problem from yesterday...
I use KDE and DejavuVu fonts which works correct ev erywhere...but NOT in Amarok. For different eoropeans fonts I got just squares which is in this time when is KDE like Windows not acceptable IMO.
Are there anyone who solved this problem, please?
Thanks in advance...

Nobody has a problem? Nobody knows the answer? Thanks a lot and there are XMMS which doesn't has a problem .

I have a similar problem with a fond that lacks some international symbols (e.g. German umlauts).
Where do the squares appears? In the menus/playlists or the OSD?
Are you using custom fonts (from the Amarok config menu) or from the KDE default - and what is it set to?
What happens if you use this exact font in a word processor and try to type these same letters that fail in Amarok?
Do the squares disappear when you switch to another font (like Arial)?

I did try both: KDE default which I have Dejavu fonts and custum but I have for example for German umlauts, squares or not correct signs like a question mark everywwhewre. It is really boring all the time. In the old version before start using unicode was everything okay.

Do you have umlauts in any other kde app (like konqueror)?

Yes, I have. Konqueror for example show everything correct, KMail, KNode, XMMS, ...except Amarok.

Which encoding are you using? Latin1, utf8 (unicode)?
How are you starting Amarok, from the K-Menu or from a terminal? (I am asking this because your environment variables determining the encoding could be set wrong)
Maybe this helps: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/FAQ#Amarok_is_not_displaying_my_utf-8_id3v2_tags_properly.21
