I had the same problem some time ago on my Boom, after upgrading to 7.4
(on Windows XP). From my notes: This fixed itself automagically after I
had restarted SqueezeCenter a few times, rescanned and changed some
unrelated settings.

Thanks for the screenshots. That's definitely not right, something must

I can confirm that Japanese fonts aren't displaying correctly on my SB3

Just tried playing some japanese jpop, tags are either borked or have

Both the player interface and the controller support non-western fonts,
but you may need to install a specific font to get them to show up on
the Controller.
