Hi all,
I'm finally back from all my travels and I saw ralphy has completed the
OS X 3.9.2 build which fixes the display problem.
Thank you ralphy!
Please let me know if there are any further loose ends that need tidying
up.
Cheers,

A big THANK YOU to bpa and Nico for tracking down the softsqueeze osx
display issue as discussed here and providing detailed build
instructions for creating a java packager release.
And thank YOU for bringing it all together! I can confirm I can read
that display again :-)

Hi Ralphy,

So how do we go about this?

I'm reading the source code now. The classes that emulate the Squeezebox

But it shows the error as clipping the leading edge of each char and by
the same amount even though font has changed which means error is in
LMS.
What version fo LMS and Perl are you running ?
Here's what I get with the standard_n font.

I've tested Softasqueeze with Java 10 on a Linux box - and it was OK but
using "standard" font.
The screen shot you showed had an unusual font setting (looked to be a
ttf one) .
For a direct comparison can you post a screen shot of your player with a
SB3 large skin and font using "standard" and

For older SB devices LMS generates display bitmap from font files and
then sends bitmap to the player.
There are three areas to explore:
1. Do you have all the right fonts on your LMS - what fonts are in the
LMS Graphics directory.
2. What "font" setting have you set for the softwsqueeze player
